**The Role**

FICT Facilitators are responsible for the formation and delivery of groups (comprising 12-16 refugees/Asylum seekers) participating in the 10-week STARTTS’ ‘Families in Cultural Transition’ program. The content and activities that make up the FICT program are contained in a set ‘FICT Kit’ but Facilitators are required to prepare a tailored program which selects the activities most relevant to the needs, culture and experience of group members. Facilitators are the main recruiters of participants and will also be actively involved in organising the venue, catering and childminding for groups they facilitate. All FICT groups are delivered in community settings and at times/days that are convenient for both Facilitators and group members and always engaging two Facilitators who will work in close collaboration with one another alongside an assigned FICT Project Officer. Each group runs for around 3 hours and includes the provision of a light meal. Due to funding restrictions, most groups need to be run on weekdays or weekday evenings, particularly in Sydney.
