Mental Health Facilitator

You are someone who cares deeply about people. You have a natural ability to lift people up, and you can see the good in them even when they can’t see it themselves. You are the person people go to when they want to feel seen and heard.

You have a minimum of a Bachelors Degree in Psychology or a Masters of Counselling. You are fun, hardworking and passionate about helping people get unstuck.

You are self motivated, reflective, and open to feedback. You’ll use your expertise to help participants understand their trauma, learn tools to overcome, and discover what’s uniquely right for them. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Executive Director to make suggestions to improve the program where possible.
​

What you’ll be doing in this role

• Co-facilitating group programs over Zoom
• Answering participant questions via email
• Providing extra course materials to participants
• Triaging new participants
• Updating Excel with New Client Data
• Conducting 1:1 support sessions
• Coordinating meetings and sessions via Calendly

​

This describes you so well:

• You’re an advocate for human rights and freedoms
• You love psychology, people, and personal development
• You’re an effective, clear communicator in all formats
• You’re practically always on time (or early)
• You care deeply about your work, colleagues, and the wellbeing of the organisation
• You’re not thin skinned or (overly) attached to your ego — you’re focused on finding, developing, and executing on the best ideas to get the best results
• You’re 100% comfortable working in a virtual environment
• You do great work autonomously and as part of a highly collaborative team (you’ll need to do both here!)
• You’re a born GO GETTER — always looking for ways to add value, do better work, improve efficiencies, build others up and drive results

​

In an ideal world, you have:

• Presentation skills and or 1+ years of group facilitation experience
• Experience working 1:1 with clients
• An in-depth understanding of the Islamic context and/or religious trauma, and/or Muslim Majority Countries
• A curious, efficient, and solution-oriented mindset
• You understand the distinction between compassion and pity
• Any of the following languages: Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Gujarati, or Farsi — are a plus!

​

This position is not for you if...

• You don’t speak English
• You don’t really commit wholeheartedly to anything
• You are interested in proselytising of any kind — religious, atheist or otherwise
• Can’t work flexible hours
• You are a life coach
• You don’t do self-development and think self-help is weird
• You have no sense of humour

​

The nitty gritty

• This is a casual contract virtual position working with our virtual team. You’ll have full autonomy over where you work
• $200 CAD support allowance per month for your own therapy and growth
• Colleagues who will support you every step of the way
• Professional development opportunities
