Freelance Practitioner

ABOUT THE ROLE 

The Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme engages young people and teachers to change the attitudes, behaviour and culture of bullying by building skills and confidence to address different situations, both online and offline. We do this by bringing together young people and teachers from multiple schools at full-day regional training events across the UK. Each training day focuses on provided anti-bullying content which our Facilitators bring to life through engaging and interactive activities.   

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is highly organised, is reliable and is passionate about facilitating to young people.   

Exact locations of school sessions will be provided to successful applicants but please be mindful that this can be across the UK, so a willingness to travel (with some overnight stays) is essential. (Travel and accommodation costs are reimbursed.)
