Become a facilitator
Hold the space. Help people belong.
Every Encirkle circle is led by a facilitator: someone who makes a room feel safe, keeps conversation kind and helps strangers become community. If you’re a natural convener with a gift for listening, we’d love to hear from you.
The role
What facilitators do.
- Welcome new members and set the tone
- Guide fortnightly conversations of 60 to 90 minutes
- Keep the space respectful, inclusive and on track
- Encourage quieter voices and manage dominant ones
- Flag concerns to our team through clear escalation steps
- Share a short monthly update on how your circle is doing
And what they don’t
Facilitators are not therapists.
You won’t diagnose, treat or carry anyone’s crisis alone. You guide the conversation, and our team supports you with clear boundaries and referral pathways.
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need to be a psychotherapist.
What matters most is warmth, reliability, emotional maturity and respect for confidentiality.
We welcome
- Counsellors and mental health advocates
- Community organisers and group leaders
- Experienced peer-support facilitators
- People with relevant lived experience who are ready to be trained
Training and support
You’ll never plan alone.
Every facilitator completes our onboarding. You’ll also receive a session guide before each meeting, so you never have to plan alone.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Community Circle Facilitator at Encirkle.
Encirkle is a community for connection, mental wellbeing and support. We believe that meaningful conversations, shared experiences and supportive human connections can make a difference in how people experience life.
Our Community Circles are guided group conversations designed to give people room to express themselves, exchange perspectives, learn from one another and feel less alone in their experiences.
As a Circle Facilitator, you will help create and hold these spaces. You will guide conversations, encourage meaningful participation, maintain healthy group boundaries and ensure that everyone feels respected and heard.
We welcome applications from people with relevant professional backgrounds, community-building experience, facilitation skills or a genuine interest in mental wellbeing and human connection.
