The Guild’s Bystander Intervention workshop aims to improve students’ knowledge and understanding of sexual misconduct, other types of misconduct and to encourage them to feel empowered to challenge it. The training explores different approaches to intervention and looks at scenarios to explore barriers and enablers to the types of interventions available. Increased knowledge of bystander intervention has shown to lead to reduced incidents, increased reporting and a culture where victims feel supported and empowered.

As we grow our Bystander Intervention Training offer, this postholder will play a central role in the smooth running of the project, responding to training requests, managing the logistical arrangements for sessions, supporting trainers, and assisting with measuring and assessing the impact of the training. They will also be involved in delivering the training.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate person to be based in our Membership Services Department, to help us to expand our Bystander Intervention Training offer. You will be highly organised, providing a high level of excellent administration support, whilst being able to confidently deliver training. Our ideal candidate will be a team player, who will work to develop excellent relationships across the Guild and the University, driving engagement in, and measuring the impact of, the Guild’s Bystander Intervention Training.

We encourage applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented within the Guild.

If you do not select this box, your application will be considered alongside all other applications. It is important to note that this scheme only guarantees an interview for ethnically diverse applicants who meet the minimum criteria. The selection decision at interview will be based on the most suitable candidate, regardless of background or protected characteristic.
