Facilitator – Auckland (maternity contract)

Do you have a genuine passion for educating young people?

Do you have experience working with primary school children (i.e. teaching, tutoring, running workshops, coaching etc)?

 Are you creative, innovative, energetic and enthusiastic about making a difference?

Do you believe that understanding money is an important skill in life?

Are you willing to do whatever it takes – from dressing up as a superhero to singing silly songs – to engage a class of primary kids around an important issue?

 Yes!? Great - then we should chat!!

 We are ChangeLabs – a leading international behaviour change organisation. In partnership with ASB, we deliver the GetWise program; an innovative and FREE financial literacy program that runs workshops in primary schools across NZ!

 We are looking to cover one of the facilitator positions in Auckland for approximately 9 months while the incumbent is on maternity leave. The start date for this position will be the 27th of September.

 Your role will be to:

 DELIVER a high volume of our world-class workshops to students in primary and intermediate schools, in and around the Auckland region. You’ll be in schools every day; you get to live and breathe the program and change the lives of tens of thousands of students!

• MARKET AND PROMOTE the sessions. As we said, our program is FREE and has proven to be in high demand; but we still need to get the word out there.
• Help us DEVELOP and IMPROVE the content of the program
• Spend 2 weeks each school term ON THE ROAD, taking our program to the farthest flung reaches of the country as we do our inspiring national roadshows
• PARTAKE in regular team meetings and join us in Sydney to take part in the life-changing ChangeLabs winter retreat with the rest of our awesome team
• Be a LOVED and LOVING member of the inspiring GetWise ‘dream team’!

 To be considered for this role you will:

 • Be a kick-ass facilitator. You’ll receive world-class training, for sure – BUT must also bring loads of flair and energy to the platform. The team is made up of people who are all truly world-class – so you’ll need to be ready to step up to the challenge, and we’ll be there to support you in the process.

 • Have a good track record of performance. We set ambitious targets for how many of our free sessions we deliver; you need to be goal-oriented, able to work towards and exceed targets and help keep those around you motivated and on track.

 • Thrive in highly independent environments. It’s not like you’re a travelling salesperson or something, but the analogy is not too bad. You’ll be given an enormous amount of freedom and trust!

 • Have a genuine thirst to make a real difference. ChangeLabs runs behaviour change programs across various industries and the thing that ties all of our people together is that we really care about the stuff we do! We love it and we want more people who love it to join us!

 And finally - here’s a few little technicalities to consider. To be eligible for this role you must:

 • Have all the relevant rights to work unrestricted in New Zealand

 • Hold a full, current and unrestricted driver’s license AND you must, must, must have a car

• Be willing and able to travel to regional areas when we do our big ‘rural roadshow’ around to the farthest flung regions of our big country

 Salary is NZ$ 42,000 per annum, with eligibility for bonuses based on hitting targets for sessions delivered.

 If at this point you're thinking "where have you been all my life!", we would love to hear from you! Send us your CV, or even better, record a video of yourself presenting something on money and throw it onto YouTube (send us the link). If it hasn’t become clear we don’t exactly do things the ‘traditional way’ around here so feel free to be as creative and edgy as you like!

 Please don’t call us at this stage. If you send your application I promise we’ll read it!
