Women’s Shelters Canada’s Domestic Violence and Your Workplace Trainer
Women’s Shelters Canada is seeking to contract an experienced, bilingual trainer with experience developing and delivering trainings and other educational materials to support our Domestic Violence and Your Workplace training program.
About the Project:
Women’s Shelters Canada (WSC) brings together 16 provincial and territorial shelter organizations and supports more than 620 shelters across the country for women, children, and gender-diverse people fleeing violence. WSC was created by the provincial and territorial shelter associations, who identified a need for a unified voice on the issue of violence against women at the national/federal level. We are a national backbone organization, uniting and amplifying the voices of shelter associations, shelters, transition houses, and second stage housing providers across the country. We work from a deeply feminist, intersectional, and justice-driven lens, connecting organizations, co-creating knowledge, and advocating for systemic change to end gender-based violence (GBV). Shelters support women and children fleeing violence. We support the shelters.
In 2026, WSC launched a national Domestic Violence and Your Workplace (DVWP) training program in partnership with provincial and territorial shelter associations across the country. The goal of the training is to equip workplaces to recognize and respond to domestic violence in the workplace, ultimately creating a safer environment for survivors in the workplace. In delivering these foundational trainings, WSC and the provincial associations have identified that it would be helpful to have specialized training modules that would speak to the unique needs and concerns of specific workplaces or segments within the workplace, such as HR teams, unionized workplaces, small business owners, and workplaces where many employees interact daily with members of the public. Workplaces that have received the training have also identified a need for additional information and resources on workplace policies and safety planning at work. WSC is seeking a skilled trainer to support the development and delivery of this additional content.
The trainer is expected to apply the principles of intersectional feminism ensuring inclusive and equitable practices to carry out the work of the organization and achieve its overall mission and strategic plan. They will report to the Director of Knowledge Exchange and will work closely with the Knowledge Exchange team.
Experience and Qualifications:
- Experience facilitating trainings online and in-person
- Experience developing accessible and engaging training content for a wide range of adult learners and settings
- Strong writing skills and experience drafting accessible, engaging, and clear language educational resources
- Ability to communicate and facilitate in both English and French
- Experience in or knowledge of the domestic violence shelter sector is a strong asset
