Working For Us

You can work for DRC in a number of ways. We have paid staff, as well as volunteers who work as counsellors, phone line staff and as crisis workers.

Crisis Workers

Crisis workers will cover out of hours use of Millfield House, and provide emotional support and information to clients using the forensic medical facilities.
