About the Training and Development Team
We are a specialist training provider, supporting professionals, service providers and communities to understand domestic abuse and coercive control and respond safely and effectively. Our training is primarily delivered through Women’s Aid Centre for Learning and Practice Development, a digital learning platform designed to create communities of practice that are domestic violence and trauma informed. This work contributes significantly to the advancement of our vision of an equal society with zero tolerance of all forms of violence against women, by increasing awareness, understanding and strengthening responses. All Women’s Aid training is informed and guided by our decades of experience directly supporting women and by models of best practice.
Purpose of the Role of Trainer
We are seeking a positive, pro-active, and motivated team player to design, deliver, evaluate and promote training sessions on responding effectively to domestic violence including coercive control using in-person, online and blended modes of delivery, to a variety of key stakeholders in particular from the voluntary and community sector.
