-
Preparing venues, materials, refreshments, and technology for events.
-
Supporting online and in-person sessions, maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
-
Assisting with group facilitation, volunteer management, and participant support.
-
Documenting events through attendance records, photography, and feedback.
-
Collecting and collating data to inform service improvement.
-
Upholding MFC’s ethos, safeguarding, and equality policies.
We are looking for a confident and adaptable facilitator with excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to manage group dynamics, and a strong commitment to inclusivity.
