Join an exciting, fast-paced and growing social enterprise as a Programme Facilitator focussed on delivering entrepreneurship, and wider careers and employability programmes for young people.
You’ll be joining an organisation that believes every young person can be a changemaker. By developing young people’s skills and confidence, we empower them to shape their lives and the world around them.
Our programme facilitators are our front line team, delivering innovative and exciting programmes with young people across our network of schools, colleges, businesses and community organisations. We pride ourselves on being innovative, embracing new technology and ensuring that we have young people at the heart of everything we do.
Our Approach to Facilitation
Unloc programmes for young people are unique. Our facilitators use innovative learning tools, both digital and physical, to create engaging events and experiences that young people will truly remember. They champion young changemakers and celebrate their successes, believing in the power of young people. You will play a critical role in growing our unique programmes. Click below to see one of our programmes in action.
Unloc facilitation embodies the following key principles:
- Participative & Inclusive learning - all participants are involved in activities, with any additional needs taken into account.
- Experiential learning - participants go on a journey when taking part in an Unloc session or programme whereby they have an immersive experience, not seen in most classrooms.
- Collaborative learning - all participants have the opportunity to collaborate with peers and session leaders to reach a shared goal.
- Coproduction - participants have the opportunity to shape and guide the programme they are taking part in, especially on longer-form programming.
- Role Modelling - participants are exposed to and inspired by experts and advocates, relevant to their programme.
- Innovation - facilitators use innovative learning tools, both digital and physical, to create engaging events and experiences that young people will truly remember.
- Technology - facilitators utilise various forms of modern technology as a tool to effectively engage participants.
- Reflective practice - participants and facilitators take part in metacognition - thinking about their thinking.
