Senior Facilitator

TELUS Heath is empowering every person to live their healthiest life. Guided by our vision, we are leveraging the power of our leading edge technology and focusing on the uniqueness of each individual to create the future of health. As a global-leading health and well-being provider – encompassing physical, mental and financial health – TELUS Health is improving health outcomes for consumers, patients, healthcare professionals, employers and employees.

Supporting mental health in the workplace is rarely straightforward and it’s not only clinical. Employee assistant programs, like TELUS Health EAP and Total Mental Health, are a critical benefit in today’s workplace. However, education is part of the continuum and provides the leadership skill development, employee self-seeking behavioral change, and the positive habit reinforcement toward personal and cultural shifts to create a mentally healthy workforce.

TELUS Health Learning designs, develops, and delivers mental health and wellbeing education globally. The team is looking for a seasoned contractor facilitator with proven experience in employer education on the topics of leadership and development, mental health, and financial wellbeing, and/or diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Contract facilitators will represent the TELUS Health brand and deliver dynamic and psychologically safe education experiences for both virtual and in-person instructional-led deliveries. Clients range from small business and government agencies to large multinational clients. Deliveries of pre-packaged content will vary from one-hour awareness seminar deliveries to multi-day blended learning programs. Occasionally, facilitators may be asked to support development, design, and testing of educational products.
