Due to increased funding for our men’s behaviour change program, YFS has a new opportunity for a male or non-binary identifying person to join our well-established Responsible Men facilitation team in a full-time role.  You will be delivering group programs alongside a woman co-facilitator. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a collaborative, supportive and respected team standing tall to end domestic violence in Logan.

Responsible Men is a men’s behaviour change intervention program that explores beliefs that drive abusive behaviour.

If you’ve got what it takes to guide men to critically reflect on their behaviour, attitudes and beliefs, this could be the role for you. You will work alongside experienced facilitators and receive ongoing practice supervision as part of our innovative, best-practice program.

The position offered will be dependent on your facilitation level and experience. We will invest in training and provide experience and mentoring for the right candidate to become a qualified Behaviour Change Facilitator.

To perform this role, it is essential that the person who holds the position be a male or non-binary person. It is therefore a genuine occupational requirement under section 25 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 that applicants identify as male or non-binary.
