London, Canada Changing Ways (London) Inc. Full time

**MEN’S GROUP FACILITATOR POSITION** (part-time)

Changing Ways changes lives by disrupting violence and abuse and plays a pivotal role in contributing to the safety of women, children, and men. This advances our broader goal of achieving equality within a safe community where aggressors are held responsible and the community accountable.

The Men’s Group Facilitator position will deliver psycho-educational group counselling to clients directed by the justice system to attend in response to: a criminal charge involving domestic abuse, redirection by a community agency, or a self-referral. This programming provides clients with an opportunity to examine their beliefs and attitudes towards domestic abuse and to learn non-abusive ways of resolving conflict.

**SKILLS |COMPETENCIES**

A Men’s Group Facilitator is responsible for supporting participants to reach decisions and accomplish goals. Your duties include working with groups to clarify meeting content, objectives and to establish ground rules that govern behavior. Facilitator duties also involve selecting appropriate methods and tools that will enable participants to achieve results. When problems or issues come up, facilitators work with the group to resolve conflict and return to goals. Other duties as a group facilitator include creating environments that allow civil dialogue and input from all participants and above all, remaining neutral throughout the process.

A Men’s Group Facilitator must be comfortable with working with group dynamics while managing the session or activity process. You must be competent at making observations and recognizing when interactions, situations or group dynamics change, and if there are disruptive behaviors, promptly intervene to disperse or extinguish them. Facilitators are assertive enough to get things on track with appropriate suggestions or redirecting group efforts. Group facilitators are also able to summarize chunks of information for clarity and understanding.

To be a Men’s Group Facilitator requires above average communication, listening, and social skills. You will also need skills in group-learning techniques, as well as skills in problem solving, conflict resolution, team building, planning, and organizing. These skills are necessary for your role as group facilitator to enable participative discussions and learning among group participants, allowing them to express and present different opinions, while maintaining a respectful environment. Facilitators are also skilled at introducing a variety of strategies to keep the process structured without interfering with group productivity.

This position requires an individual with an understanding of Intimate Partner Violence from a gendered analysis, and the ability to explain and engage in reflective thinking regarding how this impacts women and children as the predominant victims.

**RESPONISIBILTIES | DUTIES**

As participants are referred to group, the Men’s Group Facilitator will:

- Review the referral documents to ensure a complete understanding of the history of abuse;
- Schedule and conduct an intake and assessment for each referral as needed;
- Prior to the referral’s group start date, make a reach-out call to introduce yourself and establish engagement;
- Prior to each group, review each participant’s electronic file to review their victim/partners recent contact notes;
- Deliver Partner Assault Response psycho-educational topics within a group model, using a virtual or in-person format;
- Create a group environment that promotes respectful dialogue and input from all participants;
- Teach and developing skills that will enable participants to learn non-abusive ways of resolving conflict;
- Support participants to reach their programming goals and objectives;
- Make observations & recognize when interactions, situations or group dynamics change, and intervening promptly to limit disruptive behaviours;
- When conflict arises, coaching participants to resolve their conflict respectfully, and guiding the group back to their programming goals;
- Assert yourself as a facilitator when necessary, to keep the group focused on their objectives;
- Evaluate and document each participant’s attendance, progress, and programming outcomes after each group session;
- Update the justice system or other referring agency regarding the client’s attendance/absence;
- Create final reports for each participant after completion of their programming;
- Any other services, duties, and responsibilities commensurate with the position of Men’s Group Facilitator as the Employer may request from time to time, in its sole discretion, without notice, and without causing a termination of this Agreement.
