Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Facilitating Trainer (Sussex)

HELP DELIVER TRAINING THAT CENTRES LIVED EXPERIENCE

We’re looking for an experienced Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Facilitating Trainer to support and facilitate face-to-face training sessions across Sussex, working alongside autistic trainers and trainers with learning disabilities.

ABOUT LIVED EXPERIENCE TRAINING

Lived Experience Training supports autistic trainers and trainers with learning disabilities to design and deliver training that improves services and communities, while also supporting trainers to build confidence and work skills.

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism places the voices of people with lived experience at the centre of learning. As a Facilitating Trainer, you’ll help create an inclusive learning environment in which co-trainers are supported to prepare, participate and lead as fully as possible.

YOU WILL

·   Facilitate Oliver McGowan Tier 2 training sessions across Sussex.

·   Support autistic trainers and trainers with learning disabilities to prepare for, attend and co-deliver sessions, including reasonable adjustments and practical support where needed.

·   Encourage co-trainer confidence, participation and leadership, and support timely debriefs following sessions where required.

·   Work closely with the Service Manager and wider Lived Experience Training team to respond to changing support needs and improve delivery.

·   Complete essential session administration, including registers and feedback, accurately and promptly.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN DEMONSTRATE

·   An Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Facilitator qualification and successful experience delivering face-to-face training in health and social care or a similar environment.

·   Experience of building rapport and working collaboratively with autistic people and people with learning disabilities.

·   Up-to-date knowledge of autism, learning disability and relevant health and social care practice, including legislation relevant to Oliver McGowan training.

·   Excellent communication, presentation, facilitation and time-management skills, with the ability to adapt to different learning and support needs.

·   The ability to work independently as part of a distance-managed team and travel regularly to training venues across Sussex, including venues that may be difficult to reach by public transport.

An Oliver McGowan Tier 1 Facilitator qualification and a relevant Level 3 training or teaching qualification are desirable but not essential.

WHY JOIN US?

You’ll be part of a project that values lived experience as expertise and is committed to inclusive, collaborative training. The role offers flexible sessional work, meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to support co-trainers to grow in confidence and influence practice across health and social care.

Due to the nature of the role and its work with autistic people and people with learning disabilities, the successful applicant will be required to undertake a Basic DBS check.
