Self-Employed Associate Trainer

The primary purpose of this role is to deliver live training workshops as part of our Safer Gambling Training and Worksafe programmes. It will also involve the live facilitation of Lived Experience sessions with our Experts by Experience. 

This role gives the postholder the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of those affected by gambling harms, by educating gambling operator staff and workplace colleagues to be able to better spot the early markers of harm, and to interact in a more effective manner. 

A strong facilitator and communicator, you will be able to demonstrate a proven track record. You will confidently learn new content and skills as required and able to deliver exceptional in-person or virtual training to diverse audiences. Being interactive, engaging and able to read the room are essentials for this role. You’ll be curious, and always thinking about how you can improve your delivery and the experience of our customers. 

As a self-employed Associate Trainer, acceptance of work offered will be dependent on availability and other commitments. We currently offer between 1-4 days contracted work per month, although we anticipate this will increase. 

The postholder will be responsible for assessing and paying their own tax. Payment will be made within 30 days on production of a valid invoice.
