The job opening is for someone with 50–100% FTE, working as a contractor or employee, preferably full-time, starting as soon as possible. Funding is available until the end of Aug, and we are fundraising to extend this period.

Programs we run
We run online groups of 4–6 participants, running 1.5 - 2 hours sessions per week for ~ 6 weeks. In these groups, participants boost their mental wellbeing or productivity together, applying proven psychological techniques such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Accountability, and Behavior Change,
Compassion, and mindfulness,
Inner-Parts Work, such as Internal Family Systems.
The facilitators of these groups do not teach the group but rather operate as moderators, enablers of structure and owner of vibes. Participants learn about the techniques and contents with the help of selected high-quality material such as online workbooks and online courses in between the sessions as homework. You can learn more about our programs on our website and by talking to us.
The mission of our program manager will be to:
prepare and run some pilot sessions and workshops to test what works best,
(help to) create and iterate the program structure and content,
test and run the first program versions with the highest quality possible (together with other super-facilitators),
co-create the training for later facilitators to run these programs (optional),
build the community of facilitators and participants (optional)
We have an evaluation system in place to measure the success of sessions and the programs' pre-post.

Estimated time needed: circa 20 min. The deadline is sunday, the 30th of April. We will review applications on a rolling basis until we find a match, so please apply as soon as you can.
