Consent.Ed is a student led initiative that aims to prevent sexual violence and improve the safety of our campus by providing a space to learn about consent and discuss how we can work together to support one another and create an inclusive campus. 

As a Consent.Ed facilitator you will be working with one other facilitator to lead 90 minute Consent.Ed sessions to approximately 30 students. Your role is not to train students but to facilitate a conversation: to share some information, explore issues around consent, provide an opportunity to discuss how we can look out for one another and create an inclusive campus, and signpost students to the support available at LSE. 

We will provide you with comprehensive training on issues around consent and how to facilitate sessions, with many opportunities to practice these workshop-leading skills. We recognise that this is sensitive content and that this role could be emotionally challenging; we are here to support you through this, and will provide check-in sessions and paid-time to decompress. 

Please note you must be an LSE student in the 2023/24 academic year to apply for this role.

We want to ensure all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible. To help us with this, please fill out our Equal Opportunities Form and upload it with your statement.

To apply for this role, please write a statement (500 words maximum) covering the following questions:
