Must be computer literate and be able to deliver our Educational workshops independently once training has been completed. You will be required to carry learning materials or light-weight training equipment and will need use of your own laptop/computer.

If you have previous experience that’s great, but we will give full training and support if you are passionate about this and want to get involved.

We ask that you can commit to this role and to working through the role induction. 70% of the learning will be done practically, along with some online learning modules, with a view to be independently delivering one of our workshops within 3 months of joining Community Education.

Diversity is something we celebrate, and we want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross. We want you to feel that you are in an inclusive environment, and a great position to help us spread the power of kindness.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety, and we will also have a conversation with you to discuss any adjustments you may need.
