STRUCTURAL WELLNESS SUPPORTER

Location: Remote 

PTE: 1-2 hrs per month, two year commitment

Compensation: $3,000 annual contract (equivalent to $115 - $130/hr)

THE ROLE

The role of this person in the organization is to facilitate a monthly “Real Talks” meeting between all Directors. This is a space both intended for staff to surface points of potential tension or divergence before they lead to disruption but also to express appreciation for each other, check in about what has and has not been working about their jobs and generally build, tend to and maintain relationship. There will be a “Real Talks” gathering between the Directors and members of the Advisory Board twice a year which this role will also facilitate.

WHO YOU ARE

We are seeking someone with 10+ years of experience working in consensus-based groups who is familiar with the many potential pitfalls of horizontal organizing and dedicated to helping co-craft creative ways of engaging common problems. The ideal candidate will both have a solid grounding in a liberatory political framework but also be intimately familiar with the ways in which identity politics are weaponized across the left and will support Worker Directors in humanizing each other across difference.

COMMITMENT

This role asks for a regular monthly commitment of one hour with an additional hour required every six months and the potential for more hours on an as-needed basis. We are looking for someone to make an initial two-year commitment. All work will happen remotely.

COMPENSATION

$3000 annually to facilitate 12 staff meetings and 2 joint staff & board meetings, billed at a flat rate of $250 per month. In the case that greater support is needed than this base rate, all work will be billed at a rate of $75 per hour.

TO APPLY

Please email either a video of yourself (no longer than five minutes) or a written account (no longer than two pages) describing a conflict in a group you were involved in, how the situation unfolded, what you learned from it and what you might do differently were you to encounter the same situation again. Please include any relevant information you would like us to know about your conflict resolution expertise and/or background working in small, lefty, consensus-run groups. Send all materials to our Operations Director at operations@rfchallenge.org no later than April 21st, 2024.
