Job Summary

The Wollstonecraft Society is looking to develop a small pool of creative freelance facilitators to aid in supporting the delivery of our projects and programmes. We are seeking freelance facilitators who are passionate about inspiring young people and promoting human rights

Job Description

We are seeking freelance facilitators to support our in-person delivery as it grows and develops.

Introduction:

Mary Wollstonecraft claimed human rights for all. The Wollstonecraft Society is a registered charity aiming to educate and inspire children and young people about their human rights through the life, work and legacy of Mary Wollstonecraft.

The Wollstonecraft Society is working for a fairer future where Wollstonecraft's work and words live on in learning, values and debate; where children and young people have a voice and make a positive impact in their lives and to their community.

Our Approach:

We build aspiration-raising and meaningful programmes of work that develop children and young people's sense of ambition, confidence and self-worth.

We want to reach children and young people who face barriers in their day to day lives. We understand that people learn in different ways. Our delivery is interactive and uses creative and artistic approaches for longer-lasting impact.

Our Delivery:

We deliver our aims through creative resources, projects and programmes with primary schools, secondary schools, universities and young people in the community, with a particular focus on school age children (5 -18 years).

Partnership with other organisations - schools and other local community organisations - is critical to The Wollstonecraft Society successfully delivering projects and embedding into the communities that we work in. We appreciate the importance of collaboration with others who are experts in their field.
