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:
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.
