Freelance Facilitator

Added 15th September, 2026

This role is only open to applicants based in South Yorkshire or Northamptonshire. We are actively recruiting to grow delivery in these two areas specifically, and we’re unable to consider applications from facilitators based elsewhere at this time. Please only get in touch if you live in, or are within easy commuting distance of, South Yorkshire or Northamptonshire.

Who We Are

The Body Happy Organisation helps children and young people celebrate, respect and accept ALL bodies – especially their own. We do this by building cultures of body respect – and that’s where you come in. We run the UK’s first wholeschool approach, combining CPD, pupil workshops, peer advocacy and curriculum resources, and are currently recruiting for facilitators to support delivery for two commissioned projects in this area. As a certified social enterprise, we reinvest everything into our mission to create a Body Happy world.


We are a multidisciplinary team – educators, health professionals, youth facilitators, creatives, researchers and campaigners – united by a shared belief in prevention, inclusion and long-term culture change. We believe every adult in a child’s life has a role to play.

The Role

We’re growing our facilitator network in South Yorkshire and Northamptonshire, and are looking for experienced, values-aligned facilitators based in these areas to deliver Body Happy programmes to children, young people and adults in schools and community settings.


This role requires genuine commitment and real availability. Sessions are delivered between 8am and 6pm across term time, and you’ll need to be willing to travel to delivery locations within your region, up to three hours from your base.

We are only recruiting in South Yorkshire and Northamptonshire right now – if you’re based outside these two areas, we won’t be able to take your application further at this stage, but we’d encourage you to check back as our network grows.

What You’ll Be Doing?

  • Facilitating Body Happy programmes with children, young people and adults in schools and community settings
  • Delivering sessions with warmth, expertise and a genuine commitment to inclusive, preventative education
  • Working within a relational practice and trauma-informed framework
  • Representing BHO’s values and approach in every room you walk into
  • Travelling to delivery locations within South Yorkshire or Northamptonshire as required (up to 3 hours from your base)

What We’re Looking For

  • Based in, or within easy travelling distance of, South Yorkshire or Northamptonshire
  • A strong track record as a facilitator with both children and adults
  • Deep knowledge of body image and eating disorder prevention, working within a health gains, compassionate or HAES-informed framework
  • Experience working within relational practice and trauma-informed frameworks, with a commitment to inclusive,
    person-centred delivery
  • Experience working with children and young people with diverse learning needs; knowledge of contextual
    safeguarding is a bonus
  • An enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
  • Genuine, reliable availability between 8am and 6pm across term time

Before You Apply

We can only consider applicants based in South Yorkshire or Northamptonshire. Please don’t get in
touch if you’re based outside these areas – we’re not able to progress those applications at this time.

If that’s you, email Therese at hello@bodyhappyorg.com with a brief introduction covering:

  • Your location, and confirmation you’re based in South Yorkshire or Northamptonshire
  • Your facilitation background

  • Why BHO’s approach resonates with you
  • Your availability


We review applications as they come in and are looking to appoint as soon as possible – so if this sounds like you, please don’t delay in getting in touch.
