Facilitator

All of us at The Talent Foundry believe a young person's success should be determined by the talents and abilities they have, not where they come from. 

We work in schools across the UK to ignite, connect and engage young people from underserved communities to careers and employers who value talent over background. 

We do this by offering free employability workshops to students delivered by our talented and inspirational facilitation network.

You’ll be an inspirational, motivational and dynamic facilitator, with a passion for supporting young people discover what they are amazing at. 

You will be delivering exciting, innovative and fun workshops to large groups of young people in secondary schools in underserved communities across the UK. 

You will be flexible, adaptable and enjoy face-to-face facilitation opportunities, which connect young people, support teachers and engage industry volunteers in a wide range of skills-building and confidence-boosting workshops. 

Last year we supported over 60,000 young people build their skills and confidence and broaden their horizons. 

What our teachers say...

"I would highly recommend this workshop. Students were able to develop key transferable skills in such a short space of time, and then apply them to their final pitch. This was all down to the fantastic delivery of the facilitators!"

What our students say.. 

"The first in person workshop was very good in that I walked away with better a better knowledge of how to appear in interviews and what not to do to put off employers. The coaching sessions have been good in keeping me up-to-date and increasing my time put into important documents like my CVs all and all a great experience.” 

“The staff give great feedback and they are great at listening. They made me feel seen.” 

The facilitator role is a freelance position. We offer flexible hours with delivery taking place during school hours/term time in schools, partner offices or community event spaces. 

Our priority areas for delivery are in Scotland due to demand from our schools network. Please only apply if you can travel within Scotland to deliver workshops.
