Training Manager

The Office of Violence Prevention's Capacity Building & Training Initiative (CBTI) is seeking a full-time Training Manager to develop and deliver workforce training for adult service providers on trauma-informed and equitable care, racial and gender justice, health equity, and violence prevention. The role also maintains community and City partnerships for training, collaboration, and referrals, as part of a caring, dynamic team.

The Capacity Building and Training Initiative (CBTI) prevents and addresses violence through strengthening trauma-informed and equitable approaches among providers and systems serving children, youth, adults and families in Boston and beyond. As a team, we develop and deliver multi-session training institutes and adapted workshops with service providers and young people, and partner with organizations to build the capacity of staff at all levels (direct service, management and leadership) to enhance the quality of their programming, policies, protocols and climate.

CBTI is proud to partner with the Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention Initiative (DSG) on training and related initiatives. The DSG strives to create an inclusive, trauma-informed, and equitable environment that fosters a collective response to and prevention of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. Our goal is to support all survivors—particularly BIPOC communities, LGBTQ+ folks, women, girls, young people, immigrants, incarcerated folks, and those with disabilities and/or currently unhoused—by advocating for and supporting the provision of culturally responsive and linguistically accessible resources that aid in their healing, while also challenging the systemic inequities, including patriarchy, racism, and all forms of oppression, that perpetuate gender-based violence.

We do this through frequent community engagement, receiving feedback, and data collection; training and capacity building for service providers; and promoting policy change through research and partner collaboration.

As a member of the CBTI and DSG teams, the Training Manager leads work across three connected domains: training development and delivery, administrative and logistical coordination, and partnership and collaboration building. The first two domains take up the majority of time: administrative work is largely in service of training (scheduling, materials, tracking outcomes) rather than a separate workload, and duties like facilitation are shared with teammates.

For DSG specifically, this may include supporting daycares receiving funding with invoicing and other administrative tasks. The role calls for strong independent judgment and follow-through, grounded in a realistic workplan set with the CBTI and DSG Directors and a team culture of regularly supporting one another's work.
