Khulisa Associate Facilitators Young People & Adult Training Role Type: Freelance, Contract Location: Flexible - London and / or Manchester. Reports to: Delivery Programme Manager 💰: £100-£250 per day About Khulisa Khulisa (meaning ‘to nurture’ in Zulu) is an award-winning national charity with South African roots. Our programmes have been successful in reducing violence and conflict in post apartheid South African communities since 1997 and was first piloted in the UK in 2007. Since then, Khulisa has developed a reputation as experts in reducing reoffending and crime by supporting young people and prisoners to explore the root causes of their disruptive or violent behaviour, very often this behaviour is symptomatic of experiences of trauma, abuse and neglect. We have worked in prisons since 2007 and in schools and pupil referral units (PRUs) since 2011, delivering SEL (social and emotional learning) programmes. It is now widely accepted that children’s social skills (such as conscientiousness, self-discipline and perseverance) are more accurate predictors of their health, wealth and criminal history in later life than IQ or social background1. As such, Khulisa’s team of therapists work with young people to provide a range of interventions which are designed to build social and emotional skills. Recent evaluations of our work show that only 7% of our beneficiaries go on to re-offend (almost 8 times lower than the control group), and that young people’s motivation, self-confidence and wellbeing are significantly improved. “I think my school would be calmer and more understanding if everyone could do the Khulisa programme, including the adults” - 12 year old student, 2020 ‘Khulisa’s programme has had a deep impact on several of the students. It has opened a bit of a Pandora’s Box for some students and is just the beginning of a process that the students will need continued support with.” - College Principal, NewLAP College, Newham, 2019 1 Moffitt et al (2011) A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 108:7 Associate Facilitators We are seeking Associate Facilitators to specialise in one or more of the below areas: Young Person Delivery Working alongside our experienced Programme Managers delivering our ‘Face it’ Programme in mainstream schools. ‘Face It’ is a trauma-informed psycho-education programme underpinned by dramatherapy and the latest developments in neuroscience.

Neurosequential - This means we put emotional regulation before cognitive reasoning. Therapeutic - We apply the core principles of a therapeutic approach like containment, safety, boundaries, rituals and person-centred.
