There are six competencies required to facilitate groups with Kids Matter.

1. Communicate well - adapting to various people groups
2. Build trust - creating a 'safe' place and building rapport
3. Practice active listening - listening with concentration and appropriate responses
4. Ask powerful questions - using a range of effective questions
5. Challenge effectively - helping bring growth and not judgement
6. Facilitate change - enabling forward movement

We are committed to recruiting, retaining and developing a staff team which reflects, at all levels, the diversity of communities that we work with. As such, we particularly want to recognise and encourage the following individuals to apply:

• Those who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances;
• Those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities;
• Those who are living with a disability or identify as neurodivergent.

This question, and the opportunity to expand further, is optional and you are under no obligation to disclose such information if it would be your preference not to do so.
