We’re recruiting for our new Communications & Marketing Manager…
- Do you believe that everyone is creative?
- And that everyone (and every community) has a right to have their cultural life celebrated and respected?
- Do you want a flexible, varied, inspiring job that you can make your own?
- Do you enjoy using comms as a tool for social change and community building?
- Do you care about people, their stories, their cultures, their passions, their issues?
If your answer to all these questions is yes – you are probably the person we need!
We are looking for a Communications and Marketing Manager to develop Fun Palaces’ work.
Fun Palaces is a campaign to make the cultural sector fairer, more inclusive, richer and more fun. We do this through year round campaigning and an annual Weekend of Celebration. We strive to celebrate everyone’s cultural life, everyone’s voice, everyone’s uniqueness. So, we take care of each other at work, develop our roles around the people in them, and respect people’s lives beyond the workplace.
We are very aware of the structural disadvantages faced by marginalised communities across the sector. If you are someone who experiences racism, sexism, ableism, classism, homophobia or transphobia, then we actively want to hear from you.
Fun Palaces is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, and we are grateful to lottery players for their support.
