The Big Issue Classroom is a social enterprise run by The Big Issue Australia that delivers a range of different educational workshops educating primary and secondary students, community groups and corporate audiences on issues surrounding homelessness and marginalisation.

Working in the city, the Facilitator will deliver one-hour workshops to secondary school students and manage the involvement of guest speakers who have personally experienced homelessness. Hours will be sporadic.

The successful candidate will have sound experience in teaching or facilitating training or workshops, have an understanding and appreciation of issues faced by people experiencing homelessness, and a passion for working with diverse groups of people.

A level of comfort working one-on-one with guest speakers and advanced public speaking skills are a must. Sensitivity and good judgement are essential, and tertiary qualifications are preferred. A Working With Children’s Check and Police Check will be required by any successful applicant.
