About the role

The Learning team creates opportunities for and supports young people aged 0-25 to understand, connect, care for and advocate for the planet.

To create advocates for the planet, we want to engage and involve the widest possible audiences. The Creative Producers for Communities and Youth play a key role in working with those who are currently underrepresented and underserved by the Museum including structurally excluded audiences and young people.

The role's focus is the development and delivery of a programme of activities, workshops and events, building relationships, and advocating for audiences internally within Museum priority projects.

About you

Using your strong experience in working directly with community and youth audiences, you will be part of a small team developing and delivering an annual programme of meaningful, relevant and enjoyable activities that speak to the needs of young people and our local community, as well as the Museum's mission to create advocates for the planet.

Committed to inclusive practices, you will be skilled in relationship building and collaborative working with the ability to advocate for the audiences you work with. You will be proactive in seeking opportunities to build or expand community and youth voices into existing projects or programmes.

With experience in activity development and delivery, as well as event production and operational management, you'll enjoy working across a range of projects at the same time, being creative, while also following Museum processes including safeguarding, due diligence, health and safety, and evaluation.

You will be a team player with a positive, problem-solving attitude and the ability to navigate working in a complex multi-faceted organisation, working with and supporting colleagues across teams.

Please note that regular evening and weekend working (no more than 1 weekend day in 3 weeks) is required for this role.
