| Group: | XRUK Talks & Training |
|---|---|
| Posted: | 24/04/2024 |
| Location: | From home role with XR UK (UK Wide) |
| Hours per week: | 5-9 |
| No. spaces available: | 2 |
| Meeting Time: | Wednesdays: Talks & Training 10-11.30am followed by Pathways 12-1pm |
| Meeting Format: | Conference call |
| Meeting Schedule: | Attend the Wednesday meetings whenever possible. Other hours flexible. This role can be shared. |
| Essential Skills: | Good communicator, organised and proactive. |
| Desired Skills: | An understanding of the importance of talks and training in peoples' journey into activism though it is not necessary to have a background in training. |
| Accessibility considerations: | If you're hard of hearing (closed captions can be used during meetings) or visually impaired, then the online meeting aspect may be a barrier. You would need to be able to use a computer/keyboard. |
The role can be shared between two people, reducing the time commitment necessary.
The XRUK Talks and Training [T&T] team is a healthy and well-functioning happy team of people who turn up on time and usually do what they said they would do.
The role of the External Coordinator is essentially one of communication; it involves representing the T&T team in the wider parent circle meeting and other movement-wide groups where necessary. You could think of this as the conduit for information flow for the talks and training team perhaps!
This role is perfect for someone who is a great communicator, who finds it rewarding to help others play to their strengths and to work together to be far greater than the sum of our parts. Full support is given. The current holder is not running away, it is just time for a change, and some new energy and ideas.
Able to commit to attending the T&T and the Pathways meetings most Wednesdays. You should be comfortable using a computer, using message platforms and using/creating shared documents. Again, full support is given.

We maintain a database of XRUK speakers and trainers, as well as writing, updating and distributing the 'Nonviolent Direct Action' (NVDA), 'Heading for Extinction' (HfE) and Street Speakers' training/talks materials.
