What matters is your ability to lead change, improve services, and your enthusiasm for making a positive impact. This role is a great opportunity for someone who loves animals and is looking for something more meaningful in your next role.

Acceptable use of AI:

At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words.

Maternity care in England causes harm. We are working to change that, and we need facilitators who are ready to hold that conversation with honesty, courage and care. White Ribbon Alliance UK is building a pool of freelance facilitators to co-deliver Free From Harm, our programme on obstetric violence, birth trauma and rights-based practice.

About White Ribbon Alliance UK

White Ribbon Alliance UK advances sexual and reproductive health and rights by centring wellbeing, human rights and equity. Our primary focus is on improving experiences and outcomes in maternity and perinatal care. We work with maternity professionals, pregnant and birthing people, and communities to strengthen rights, safety, equity and accountability across the system.

About Free From Harm

Free From Harm is our training programme on obstetric violence, birth trauma, informed consent, respectful maternity care and rights-based practice. It supports maternity professionals and related practitioners to recognise harm in perinatal care, understand how discrimination and power shape people's experiences, and strengthen safer, more respectful and more accountable practice.

The opportunity

As Free From Harm grows, we are building a pool of trusted freelance facilitators to co-deliver the programme to participant groups across England.

This is a self-employed contractor opportunity, offered on an assignment-by-assignment basis from August 2026. The day rate is £250. In addition, facilitators may earn affiliate commission of 20% of the relevant booking value where a booking is directly attributable to them through an agreed referral or sales route. This gives facilitators with existing networks in maternity, midwifery, NHS, public health or related sectors the opportunity to increase their earnings beyond the day rate. Any commission arrangement will be confirmed in writing.

Joining the pool does not guarantee minimum work or continuing engagement. Each assignment will be agreed in advance, including dates, location, preparation expectations and fees.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for facilitators who can hold complex, emotionally honest and sometimes challenging conversations with care, clarity and courage.

You may have come to this work through facilitation, maternity advocacy, midwifery, doula work, clinical education, community organising, activism, public health, reproductive rights, lived experience or another route entirely.

We are especially interested in people who bring:

• Knowledge of obstetric violence, birth trauma, informed consent and respectful maternity care
• Understanding of trauma-informed practice and psychological safety in group settings
• A genuine anti-racist, anti-discrimination and intersectional approach
• Experience facilitating groups where difficult, activating or sensitive material arises
• Confidence naming harm, power, coercion and structural causes clearly and directly
• Co-facilitation experience, including joint planning, delivery and debrief

You do not need to have followed a traditional professional route. We value lived experience, community knowledge, advocacy and activism alongside formal training and professional experience.

Our values

WRA UK is an unapologetically feminist, anti-racist and inclusive organisation. Equity, dignity and justice are not aspirations for us. They are the foundation of everything we do.

We strongly welcome applications from people who are Black, Asian and otherwise racially minoritised, disabled, LGBTQ+, or from communities underrepresented in sexual and reproductive health and the charity sector.

Key details

• Engagement type: Self-employed contractor, day-rate basis
• Day rate: £250 per day, plus 20% affiliate commission on eligible bookings
• Location: Home-based preparation, with online and in-person delivery across England as agreed
• Start date: Rolling from August 2026
• Eligibility: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be resident in the UK throughout any engagement
• Deadline: 5pm BST on 30 June 2026

How to apply

You have until 30th June 2026 to apply via the process outlined below. 

Please include:

1. Your CV or consultant profile, maximum 2 pages. You are welcome to include links to examples of your work, such as a website, recorded sessions or talks, blogs, podcasts, learning resources, public writing or relevant campaign work.

2. A 3-minute video explaining what makes you well-placed to facilitate Free From Harm, or a 1–2 page written document if you would prefer not to record a video.

We are looking for concrete examples from your real work, not general statements of values or commitment. We are especially interested in your experience of facilitating trauma or harm-related material, co-facilitation, and how an anti-racist and intersectional lens shows up in your practice.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a conversation with WRA UK. We will ask shortlisted applicants to discuss a real facilitation example, respond to a scenario and provide references or examples of previous work.
