Barefoot Facilitation Inc. has a sixteen-year track record as the facilitation solution of choice for a growing group of non-profit, public and private sector clients across Canada. We work with clients to co-create process facilitation and training solutions that are relaxed and informal while being results oriented and engaging.

Due to recent rapid growth, we have an immediate opportunity for a lead facilitator to support active and pending projects. The incumbent must be Nova Scotia based and shall be responsible for facilitating in-person and virtual group processes and learning experiences.

• an interest in a 4-day work week, with Friday’s off?
• an interest in a hybrid work environment?
• a passion for listening and hosting meaningful conversations to support learning?
• post-secondary education or equivalent in a field related to facilitation, learning and development, or talent and organizational development?
• over five (5) years relevant experience as a facilitator of group processes and learning experiences?

• a valid Nova Scotia driver’s license

What sets you apart?
