Job Introduction
We have a vacancy on our facilitation team for a second Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Poverty Truth Commission. We would welcome applications from those with experience of facilitating collaborative processes of engagement.
Poverty Truth Commissions (PTCs) ask the question: What if the people who have directly faced poverty were involved in decisions about poverty? A PTC runs over the course of 2 years gathering a group of commissioners made up of experts through experience – ‘Community Commissioners’, and civic and business leaders - ‘Civic and Business Commissioners’.
The PTC is about developing relationships of trust and empathy between commissioners, and seeing what happens when their combined wisdom, resources and experience are brought together – making tangible change in our communities. See https://povertytruthbcp.org/ for more information.
Are you based in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and keen to be a part of making a second Poverty Truth Commission happen in our community?
We are looking for a co-facilitator to design and host commission meetings in a way that champions equality, open dialogue and co-production between all commissioners.
- In our Commissions, we employ everyone on equal pay and share out tasks according to skills and energies.
- The role is part time, up to 12 hours a week with a flexible working pattern, paid at £18 an hour, to include working on a Thursday.
