Head of Movement Facilitation

The Head of Movement Facilitation is responsible for designing and delivering a new flagship programme for NEON, designed to skill-up social movements and civil society in general in strategic, anti-oppressive facilitation. We are looking for someone with passion and experience in effective facilitation within a social justice context, who also understands the broader political context that social movements are working within in the UK. Your role is to to design an income-generating, sustainable programme with reach beyond NEON’s usual networks - the training will focus on outcome based facilitation that is also oppression informed; challenging the widespread myth that it’s a trade off between the two. This training will be useful for people looking to run meetings, trainings and events within the progresssive sector more broadly, from small grassroots organisations to large NGOs and funders - NEON believes that everyone should have these skills and there are currently not enough places to get them. The Head of Movement Facilitation will be responsible for the overarching programme strategy, design and implementation, including marketing the training widely, and fundraising externally to make the work financially self-sustaining for the long term, in line with other similar offers in the UK and abroad. Finally, you will work collaboratively within the Movement Building Hub to develop and implement movement interventions, as well as working collaboratively across NEON.
