Facilitator Job Description

A facilitator is a person or organization that helps people engage in any process of change.

The facilitator helps guide people to take effective action.

The facilitator provides support, feedback, and encouragement, so that the group can move forward without feeling like they are being led.

The facilitator makes sure the group stays on task and moves through meetings or other activities effectively.

The facilitator will suspend judgment, encourage disagreement, accept honest mistakes, give honest feedback, and allow for creativity.

The facilitator does not make decisions for the group, rather, the facilitator helps the group make decisions.
