Faith to Faithless is a service of Humanists UK. We are now recruiting for a Sales Agent to sell our Apostasy Awareness training to statutory, education, and voluntary sector organisations.

What you'll be selling
Leaving a high-control religion can be a complicated process, often resulting in emotional abuse from family and community. Shunning and complete disownment is not uncommon, and this isolation can lead to depression and other poor outcomes. Physical abuse, often referred to as honour violence can follow. In Britain, it is often particularly hard for ex-Evangelical Christians, ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses, ex-Muslims and for people who have left an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect.

Our Apostasy Awareness training has been developed to inform frontline services about apostates and how to support them with best practice. We have trained many organisations, including the Metropolitan Police on this topic. Local authorities, police, social services, NHS workers, homeless shelters, teachers, university staff, and charities are all encouraged to take our training. Our target audience is any organisation which supports individuals, with a particular focus on statutory services, support charities, and universities.

Our training covers:

• Awareness of the most common issues faced by apostates.

• Referrals to relevant organisations that can help apostates.

• Language -- helpful and unhelpful ways to talk about leaving religion.

• Ways in which apostasy differs from some other forms of religious discrimination.

• Safeguarding implications specific to the organisation.

Is this the right position for you?

We are looking for an experienced Sales Agent, with sympathy for this cause and a willingness to develop their understanding of this very unique service, in order to sell this training course.

Building customer relationships via email and over the phone, you’ll target statutory, voluntary, and educational organisations to sell our 90 minute, half day or full day training. After gaining a commitment to book the training from the organisation you will then transfer the relationship to our Apostasy Services Development Officer (ASDO) who will confirm dates. In cases where a person with authority in an organisation would prefer to speak to a professional from our team before booking, you will be paid a qualified lead fee.

The ideal candidate will already hold experience in sales within these sectors and will preferably already have a contact list.

Fee payable: Sales Agents will receive 20% of the training booking fee. We expect training to sell at the cost of £350 for a half a day or £600 for a full day. However, the sales agent will have power to negotiate costs.
