About the role
About Plume:
Plume Health is a passion-fueled, mission-driven company that is trans-founded with a vision to transform healthcare for every trans life. We hope to make gender-affirming hormone therapy easily accessible at the touch of a button in every state of the US.
This work is deeply personal and heart-driven, and we want teammates who care about the mission and the people we serve. For the right candidates, we present a rare opportunity to do well by doing good. Plume offers an affirming, trans-centered, culturally inclusive, and fun work environment filled with purpose.
About the Role:
Support Group Facilitators empower and support the Plume community team to effectively provide Plume members with the support they need in navigating their gender journey and achieving improved health and wellness outcomes. This contracted role is overseen by the Community Support Manager.
As a facilitator, you will facilitate groups of Plume members, cultivating spaces for trans, nonbinary, and non-cis people to share their questions, experiences, and wisdom with one another on various topics; shared experiences, identities, interests, and more. Most groups are held once per week on a specific day and time and are hosted virtually.
This role is contracted and part-time (average 5-8 hours per week, up to 15 hours), with time split between facilitation, preparation, follow-up, and at times, training and consultation.
Some essential strengths of a Plume Support Group Facilitator should be building trusting relationships, communication, an ability to deal with sensitive and potentially divisive topics in a sensitive and inclusive manner, a deeply personal commitment to providing support to their peers, and an excitement for working in a constantly growing and evolving startup environment.
