Ruhama is an Irish NGO and registered charity that offers nationwide support to women impacted by
prostitution and human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Founded in 1989, our
organisation has extensive expertise in providing a wide range of specialist, holistic support services.
Our services are free, confidential, and delivered by a committed and experienced team. Ruhama also
advocates to influence policy that supports and protects women.
The Seeking Safety Ireland project has been supported by the Department of Health. The commitment
is to develop and implement a cross sectoral, interagency Irish adaptation of the Seeking Safety model
to support hard to reach people who experience both mental health and substance use issues, paying
particular attention to those experiencing domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.
Seeking Safety works from the premise that people who have the dual diagnosis of Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD)and Substance Use are more likely to engage in less safe drug and alcohol
using activities and veer towards poly drug use.
The Seeking Safety Peer worker will help in the delivery of the Seeking Safety programme with the
Seeking Safety Project Worker. The Peer Worker will be trained in Seeking Safety and so will not need
to know about how to run a Seeking Safety programme to apply for this post. You do, however, need
to be an experienced Peer Worker who is consistent in their approach and displays a level of self reflectiveness.
