What you’ll be doing in this role

HOPE not hate Ltd is looking to expand our network of Freelance Educators across England & Wales who will help deliver our education programme to schools and colleges.

The role will be very ad hoc as the educator will only be required as and when we have bookings in their area. Efforts will be made to fit around each person’s schedule, but ultimately will depend on the school’s timetable.

All our workshops involve interactive activities to help make them more engaging. We also try to develop the pupils’ emotional intelligence, as an understanding that we have emotional responses to the world before a cognitive one. We believe that this method allows the students to develop their own deeper understanding of the issues, and one that will last longer with them, which hopefully increases the likelihood of them altering their behaviour towards making the school environment and local community more inclusive.

Educators will not be required to be involved with workshop development or gaining bookings.

What we think you’ll need to be able to do the job

We expect applicants to have:

• Full DBS background check
• Strong classroom management skills
• Basic IT skills including email, Microsoft Office and Google Apps
• A good understanding of recent British social history surrounding race and equality
• Very good public speaking
• Good communication skills
• Ability to motivate others
• Ability to remain calm and diffuse situations (in the light of workshop content and the opinions these may bring out from students)
• Ability to relate well to students in a variety of contexts
• Ability to successfully deploy a range of teaching and learning strategies to suit the nature of the workshop content and the ability of the students
• Understanding of and ability to recognise discrimination in its many forms
• Commitment to equal opportunities
• Commitment to safeguarding students

Additionally, we would like (but not expect) applicants to have:

• Qualified Teacher Status
• Basic understanding of the British far-right and their history
• Basic understanding of the work of HNH
• Good understanding of contemporary thoughts around discrimination and equality
• Desire to improve knowledge and understanding of the issues HNH campaign on
• Knowledge of Prevent agenda and British Values curriculum
• Willingness to stay abreast of national developments in education and contribute to developing resources and pedagogy to reflect the changing landscape
