Job Description

If you have previous experience of delivering training and facilitating to young people, apply today!   

  • To date, the Anti-Bulling Ambassador Programme has trained over 40,000 young people throughout the UK. The programme engages and mobilises young people and staff in social action to tackle the issue of bullying behaviours.  

  • Training for the Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme is primarily delivered in schools via large (up to 150 young people) training events, but we also deliver remote sessions using online platforms.

Most training events have around 60-100 young people in attendance.

  • Engage young people with our Anti-Bullying Ambassador Training and offer further opportunities where relevant.   

  • Establish and sustain strong relationships with schools, FE colleges, APs and youth organisations.   

  • Uphold safeguarding policy and practice when working with young people.
