Highly Qualified Team

Our facilitation team are challenged to be the very best they can be and we give them 10 goals to aspire to. They have strong Team Leaders who ‘walk the walk’ by demonstrating high-level communication and interpersonal skills.

We are creating a world-class team at a company created for young people, run by young people. 3 out of four of our new team are young people who have come through our programmes whilst they were at school, so the spine of our company is made up of past students, facing the same challenges that your students face today.

I’m Steve & joined HU ten years ago now after a totally different career change. I met Gray & Carlo and worked with them in a school in Bristol , I was hooked instantly. One by the amazing programme and two by the courage and strength of the young people during that day. Since that day I still stand back in amazement after ten years of being inspired by young people.

My Skills

Communication

I have always loved people, all my jobs so far have been people based as I like to communicate as much as I can on a daily basis and learn from others. As a facilitator and a team leader , communication is a must , but my career path with HU has been the thing that’s helped me the most.

Organisation

I try to be organised to the best of my ability, as I think it’s key in all walks of life, Im a real list and notepad person !!!! It helps me also relax, when standing for five hours and talking to large audiences organisation is a essential part of the job.

Happy / Energetic

Meeting so many young people on a day to basis who maybe haven’t had the best starts in life the very least I can be is a smiley person.

Our audiences give me energy every day with there courage and compassion for others. I truly believe if you give positive energy out it will come back to you , this is definitely the case with our audiences at HU.

I met HU when I was 15, in Year 10 and connected with the experience much more than I could have imagined. I joined the heroes journey and later went on to be an Ambassador at HARmony camp. I had such a wonderful experience that I realised working alongside this company was something I wanted full time and became a facilitator in September 2015

My Skills

Learning

During the time I’ve been with HU I’ve had the privilege of meeting many young people that have taught be a lot about life and the barriers many young people face. I’ve been able to learn and grow as person though my experiences with the company and hope to never stop learning.

Communication

As someone that’s struggled to do this in the past the company has helped me communicate with people on a lot of different levels confidently and with conviction

Understanding

I joined HU to try and make a difference to as many lives as possible and part of that requires learning to understand, appreciate and embrace people’s differences and take the time to listen and empathise with peoples lives and situations.

I met HU in 2011 when I was 15 and in Year 10, which was when I joined the heroes journey, went on work experience with HU, had the role as camp ambassador summer 2015, with my apprentice facilitator employment starting June 2016.

My Skills

Learning

As an apprentice, I’m here to learn. I love to watch and absorb what the more experienced Heroes are doing and try to understanding how developing my own skills over time will, in turn, help the students we work with.

Listening

Listening to the amazing people around me enables me to grow, both as an employee and as a Hero. Be it experienced members of staff or an individual year 7 student, everyone can inspire and teach us things.

Supporting

I joined HU to make a difference and support young people, but it is supporting all those around me both in and out of work, that has enabled me to become an asset for help.

I was 17 when I first met Humanutopia, and I didnʼt know I needed until it
happened. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life until that day the area
Iʼm from is a , I wasnʼt even going to stay in the room and within 2 hours I knew
I had to make changes. On the back of the Who Am I day I became a hero
which I absolutely loved doing, I then got in touch with HU once Iʼd turned 18, I
did some work experience and then went on to be an apprentice facilitator.

My Skills

Teamwork

I love working as part of a team because when working in a good healthy team there isnʼt much that can go wrong, its something Iʼve had to do for a very long time so its something Iʼve really learned to enjoy. The leadership skills I have gained not only at HU but in previous jobs allow me to have a great working relationship with my colleagues because they also have the same qualities; Together Everyone Achieves More.

Social Skills

I believe a great skill of mine is being able to interact with a wide variety of people, Iʼve always been told Iʼve got an old head on my shoulders. Iʼve always been taught to ‘treat the cleaner the same way you treat the bossʼ and thatʼs something I feel makes the person I am today being polite, respectful and always using my manors.

Learning Skills

I love to learn, in school I was never the best learner but now I realise you literally can learn something new every single day and thatʼs the difference between myself now and me in school, I actually want to learn something new every single day. My gran tells me all the time ‘Knowledge Is Powerʼ and it something that I want to take advantage of. I want to learn to be the best facilitator I can be and hopefully I can do that with the with the help of my peers and the young people of today.
