About the Organisation

Safe and Equal is the peak body for Victorian organisations that specialise in family and gender-based violence across the continuum, including primary prevention, early intervention, response and recovery.

At Safe and Equal, we are committed to creating an inclusive organisation.

We also consider applicants regardless of contact with the justice system and experiences of criminalisation, consistent with our legal requirement.

We are committed to fostering a work environment where everybody can bring their whole self, belong and succeed. We are a proud Equal Opportunity employer and do not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment. We celebrate and support difference and know that one size doesn’t fit all – we endeavour to be flexible, meet your needs, and support you at every stage of your contact with us.

We remain open to new approaches and actively foster an inclusive workplace that celebrates the contribution made by all our people.

The Role

We are looking to expand our team of casual facilitators and trainers, who are essential in the delivery of our workforce development programs. Whether your strengths are in training, facilitating or both, this role would work closely with other sessional staff and the prevention teams to deliver different activities to the prevention workforce across Victoria.

These positions capture a range of skills and experiences including facilitation of reflective practice, in particular through our Communities of Practice, and training design, delivery and review.

The responsibilities of the sessional facilitators and trainers recruited will be shaped by their skills and expertise as a facilitator/trainer and ability to contribute to the portfolio of sector development offerings.

Here are some examples of what you will achieve in the next 12 months as a Sessional Facilitator/Trainer:

• Deliver a primary prevention CoP curating meaningful conversations with primary prevention practitioners from across Victoria, utilising Safe and Equal’s approach outlined in Learning Together
• Be a part of delivering one of Safe and Equal’s flagship primary prevention trainings to an audience of practitioners from around Victoria
• Support monitoring, evaluation and reflection from CoPs and trainings to assist with learning and improvement.

To be successful in this role, you must have:

We are looking for someone who is passionate about engaging with people and process - a skilled facilitator and/or trainer with deep knowledge and interest in workforce development. A collaborator who is able to hold meaningful conversations with a variety of audiences.

• Ability to create a clear structure, consistent meeting practice, and a safe learning environment where practitioners can have robust and vulnerable conversations about their work in primary prevention.
• Ability to translate research and policy-based information into easy-to-understand language, using evidence-based feminist frameworks on the primary prevention of family and gendered violence
• Be able to draw community members into a conversation, and frame questions in a way that demonstrates your willingness to listen, probe, ask, and clarify.
• Work collegially with team members and other internal stakeholders to ensure effective delivery and facilitation
• Sound understanding of adult learning principles
• Knowledge and experience in the development, delivery and evaluation of training and/or community education
• Experience in delivering training and workshops virtually and in person
