Key duties include:
1. Facilitator education – Assisting the operations team by running facilitator training sessions, and proactively supporting facilitators to better understand and communicate the workshop content. Note that some of this training may need to be conducted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but some will also be done face-to-face so facilitators can practice

2. Facilitator recruitment – Supporting the recruitment of facilitators when needed.

3. Facilitator feedback – Ensuring that facilitator feedback is communicated to the operations team to be included in the workshops so that content remains contemporary and useful for students.

4. Running workshops – Acting as a facilitator yourself by running workshops in secondary schools on the topic of consent and sexual violence prevention

• Has a background in education, either through studies or work experience

• Is confident with public speaking and leadership

The successful candidate will be expected to be available Sundays at 2 – 4pm when our facilitator training takes place. These run every second Sunday. You will not be expected to attend every session but should ensure you can attend the majority.

Commitment outside the training sessions are expected to be around 3 hours a week.

This is a volunteer position with Empowered Together. All positions at Empowered Together are volunteer positions.
