How to Apply for Training Manager

at Complex Trauma Training Center

🏢 About Complex Trauma Training Center

The Complex Trauma Training Center (CTTC) is a social enterprise uniquely focused on advancing clinical excellence and community impact in the trauma-informed field through multi-layered training programs. Unlike traditional training organizations, CTTC emphasizes rigor, relational intelligence, and operational maturity, making it an ideal workplace for those passionate about systemic change in mental health.

About This Role

As Training Manager, you'll be responsible for translating CTTC's training vision into operational reality by owning end-to-end program execution and building scalable systems. This role is impactful because it ensures CTTC's complex trauma training programs run smoothly without 'heroics,' directly supporting practitioner development and community outcomes through reliable operations.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing Zoom moderation workflows and trainer schedules, meeting with remote support staff to ensure clear handoffs, analyzing operational data to identify patterns or breakdowns, and redesigning documentation systems to improve future program execution. You'd spend significant time on system design rather than direct program delivery.
