We're looking for a dynamic and compassionate trainer to join our Learning and Development team at Spectrum Foundation — an organisation that leaves no one behind.

About the Role

As a Trainer for Maybo and PBS, you will deliver high-impact, person-centred training that changes lives.
  • Facilitate Maybo courses - a globally respected conflict management and de-escalation programme.
  • Deliver engaging Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training, equipping teams with tools to understand behaviour and improve quality of life through evidence-based, human rights-focused strategies.
  • Support and coach frontline staff across Aotearoa through interactive face-to-face, digital, and 1:1 learning delivery.
  • Contribute to the design and continuous improvement of training programmes and learning resources.
  • Collaborate with the wider L&D team to support other meaningful learning initiatives, including staff qualifications and bespoke capability-building projects.

  • Current Maybo Trainer Certification, or a strong commitment to becoming a certified Maybo trainer.
  • A full, clean driver's licence is essential.
Experience and Skills
  • Experience in facilitating training to adult learners in group and/or coaching settings.
  • Clinical knowledge or experience relevant to PBS is preferred.
  • Strong understanding of behaviour support principles and trauma-informed practice.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills - you're confident presenting, able to adapt to diverse audiences, and skilled at building trust.
  • Organised, tech-savvy, and capable of managing time, priorities, and multiple projects.
  • A commitment to cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and continuous improvement in learning design and delivery.
Why Spectrum?
  • Be part of a bold and purpose-driven organisation breaking barriers in health, housing, education, employment, and self-determination.
  • Collaborate with a passionate team that values strong relationships, mana-enhancing practices, and real impact.
  • Grow your career while supporting others to grow theirs.
  • Play a key role in shaping the future of workforce capability in the disability sector.
