Pay £14.80 per hour
Hours of work Up to 15 hours per week (flexible working).
Interviews will likely take place w/c 22nd June, online.
To apply for this role, you must be available:
- Monday 14th – Friday 18th September, 10am – 5pm for paid in-person training sessions on the Bloomsbury campus.
- Workshop delivery will start from Monday 21st September. You must be in London with availability to deliver workshops during this week and onwards.
Purpose of the job:
Students’ Union UCL are looking for Workshop Leaders to run workshops as part of our sector-leading Active Bystander Programme for students across UCL.
The Active Bystander Programme is a core element of students’ induction and time at UCL. It aims to empower them to recognise and challenge unacceptable behaviours including bullying, harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct, on campus and beyond. The programme provides students with the tools to safely intervene if they witness or experience any of these unacceptable behaviours, helping to create a safer and more inclusive culture on campus, and beyond.
Since its launch, the programme has trained over 60,000 students and has grown to be the largest programme of its kind in UK Universities, through its peer-to-peer delivery model. We recognise that to prevent these behaviours, we must address them as a community in which each member can do their part to challenge bullying, harassment and sexual violence.
The Programme includes students undertaking an online module and attending a live workshop online and/ or in-person. Workshops are delivered between 9:30am and 5:30pm Monday-Friday during term time.
The workshop itself is 90 minutes long and is facilitated in-person or online. These workshops build on the knowledge gained from the online module through practical examples, scenarios and interactive peer discussions. These explore safe methods of intervention, reporting options, and empower students to challenge unacceptable behaviour when they witness it. Our workshop Leaders create a safe, non-judgmental space for students to ask questions and learn from each other. Workshop Leaders receive thorough training, development and support.
This year, we are expanding our programme. We are looking for a selection of Workshop Leader’s to also deliver our brand-new Consent and Tackling Sexual Violence workshops. The trauma-informed workshop will equip and empower students with essential skills, and knowledge around navigating sexual experiences, understanding sexual violence and challenging rape culture.
