Hours:  20 hours per week

Location: HMP/YOI Feltham, London

Contract: 1 Year contract

Closing date: 9th February 2026 at 11:59 PM

Interview date: Week commencing 2nd March 2026

SurvivorsUK is committed to continually developing our practice as an equal opportunity’s
employer.

We strongly encourage the applications of people from structurally oppressed
communities, and those who share some of the identities of our service users. In
particular, our organisation will benefit from increasing the representation of BAM (Black,
Asian and Mixed Heritage) people, trans* and non-binary people, and men in our staff
teams.

About this role

An estimated 12,000 men are raped every year and 76,000 sexually abused or assaulted. Yet
just 4% of men will tell someone. Of those who do, it takes on average 26 years to do so.

SurvivorsUK provides specialist support to men and boys, trans* people, and non-binary
people who have been raped, sexually assaulted or abused. Our aim is to help any man, boy,
trans person, or gender non-conforming person, to have the confidence to tell someone
what’s happened to them, and to know that it’s OK to seek help. When they do, we want to
ensure they have access to the right support so they can deal with the impact of their
experiences of criminal harm.

Sexual violence in prisons has long been ignored, leaving men without adequate support.
Over the past year we have been part of a committee with HM Prison Service, Metropolitan
Police and NHS England to create a Service on responding to serious sexual assaults within
prisons in London. We want raise awareness amongst prison staff of the appropriate
responses to sexual violence and gather information about the needs of male survivors in
prison to inform future service provision.

We provide emotional support, information and signposting to survivors and anyone
worried about someone they know, through a national website and webchat service (open
until 8pm most evenings). Last year, 2,600 people contacted us via our webchat services
and social media.

In London, we are the only organisation providing specialist services for men and boys,
including individual counselling and therapeutic groupwork, available until 9pm six days a
week. Across London, we provide the capital’s only Independent Sexual Advisor (ISVA)
Service that helps men and boys through the criminal justice system.

survivors amongst London prisons staff.

•  Spend two/three days a week providing support to prisoners in HMP Feltham Young

Offenders Institution.

•  Provide counselling to prisoners, therapy and practical support interventions to men,

boys, non-binary and trans people who have been raped, sexually abused or
assaulted with high levels of need and who are most vulnerable

Responsibilities

Support and Advocacy

services including ISVA, counselling, groupwork and helpline if they are leaving
prison and need support. Or our ISVA support and written support can be accessed
in prison.

2.  Undertake and regularly review risk and needs assessment to ensure a survivor’s

safety and wellbeing;

3.  Develop a support plan, in conjunction with the survivor, to address their individual

Sweden

Vacancy: Postdoctoral Fellow in Sociology – SOFI, Stockholm University

The Postdoctoral position is part of the research programme “Sustainable synergies” (www.su.se/english/research/research-projects/sustainable-synergies). The aim of the programme, which is based on both internationally comparative research and in-depth analyses of Sweden and the Nordic countries, is to study how social policy and the welfare state can be developed to support a sustainable working life for everyone. In focus are the working-life transitions that individuals make during their lifecourse, and the programme examines how the interplay between different social policies can support successful transitions for different groups in the labour market. Potential interplays include between different policies within a policy area (e.g. education policy) as well as between different policy areas (e.g. health and pension policies). The programme builds upon quantitative data, and programme members make use of for instance comparative country-level data, comparative individual-level surveys, as well as individual-level register data from the Nordic countries.

Main responsibilities

Research within the programme is organized around five crucial life-course transitions: between school and work, work and family formation, work and ill health, work and retraining, and work and retirement. The postdoctoral research will be part of one or more of the work packages around these transitions, depending on research interests.

The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to develop and pursue independent research corresponding to that of the research program. An initial outline of research questions is to be included in the application in the form of a research plan. However, although independent research is essential, collaboration with senior colleagues is encouraged should opportunities arise.

Qualification requirements

In order to qualify for a Postdoctoral position, applicants are required to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent relevant degree from another country. The degree must have been completed no later than when the employment decision is made.

Assessment criteria

The applicant must hold a doctoral degree in sociology or a related discipline. It is considered an advantage if the doctoral degree or an equivalent degree was completed no more than three years prior to the application deadline. Under special circumstances, an older degree may also be an advantage. Special circumstances refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.

In the appointment process, special attention will be given to:

• The quality of earlier research and qualifications
• The degree to which the applicant’s research plan and previous research support the overall goals of the Sustainable synergies program
• Skills and experience relevant for the analysis of life-course transitions and social policy using quantitative research methods
• Written and spoken English skills, where the applicant is expected to be fluent.

About the employment

The position involves full-time employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date 2026-03-02 or as per agreement.

The Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stockholm University. The institute is an internationally leading research institute in the field of social policy, welfare, inequality and labour markets and has over 90 employees.
