Job description

Centre for Sexuality is a nationally recognized community-based organization delivering programs and services to normalize sexuality and sexual health across an individual’s lifespan. We have been leading the way in the areas of sexuality, healthy relationships, human rights, gender identity, sexual orientation, equality, and consent for over 50 years. Sexual well-being for all is at the core of what we do. We teach, we train, and we advocate to support healthy bodies, healthy relationships, and healthy communities. We provide education, training, and counselling for anyone who needs support related to these topics.

Position Overview:

We’re currently looking for two passionate, skilled facilitators to join our WiseGuyz team — one with a primary focus on Elementary (Grades 4–6) and one on Junior High (Grades 8–9).

As a Facilitator with the Centre for Sexuality, you will use our developed curriculum to lead participants through group activities and workshops to ensure that program objectives are met efficiently and participants remain engaged. WiseGuyz is a participatory prevention program that addresses critical issues that boys and young men face by teaching them: tools to support mental health and wellbeing; engage in healthy relationships; helping them understand the connection between masculinity and male norms, sexuality, and providing targeted education, skills development and opportunities for social-emotional learning; and support to help them achieve health and well-being. Facilitators work collaboratively with youth, parents and natural supports, schools, and community partners.

As our successful candidate you will:

Program delivery and administration
• Facilitate WiseGuyz programming with male-identified youth in schools and community settings (ages 9–21), focusing primarily on either elementary or junior high.

• Participate in regular performance planning and review.

Program monitoring, evaluation and reporting
• Provide input on reports related to program activities and outcomes.
• Provide feedback on curriculum and contribute to curriculum reviews.
• Participate in ongoing program monitoring, evaluation, and improvement.

Partnership engagement and relationship management
• Maintain and nurture current partnership relationships.
• Adhere to the Partnership Pipeline Standard.
• Apply constructive collaboration and conflict resolution techniques with team members to maintain a productive work environment

Community Engagement
• Promote the Centre for Sexuality as a leader in programs and services for sexual health.
• Represent the organization/program at internal and external meetings and events.
• Establish and maintain relationships with stakeholders and communities.
• Respond to requests for information about the program in a professional and timely manner.

Training and Development
• Participate in internal and external professional development opportunities.
• Stay updated on emerging research and best practices.
• Participate in program observations in support of development and program fidelity.
• Engage in reflective practices to enhance professional growth.

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in child and youth studies, education, public health, social work or related field.
• Minimum of two (2) years of related work experience or a combination of work experience and population-specific experience/education.
• Working knowledge of group facilitation techniques and practices.
• Knowledge of and/or experience facilitating core topics related to the WiseGuyz/Boys program curriculum.
• Ability to provide a police information record check with vulnerable sector search

Compensation and Work Environment:
