The Gaiety Theatre are seeking an Assistant Project Coordinator to support delivery across all Culture Collective and creative engagement events, helping coordinate plans, relationships, logistics and communication across the life of the programme. This post is distinct from the main Coordinator roles and is designed as a supported learning opportunity within the team.
This part-time freelance role is also a training opportunity that will help keep Culture Collective and wider creative engagement activity organised and connected, working with artists, participants, partners and the Creative Engagement team to ensure events and activity are well planned, well communicated and delivered smoothly.
They are looking for someone who can build strong working relationships, support coordination across multiple strands of activity, and provide reliable administrative and practical support across an 18 month programme, while developing their skills through learning from the Coordinators in post and the Creative Engagement team.
This role offers an opportunity to play a key part in supporting a creative community programme over time, while gaining experience and confidence through hands-on learning alongside the two Coordinators in post and the wider Creative Engagement team.
The exact shape of the work will continue to develop as activity progresses, and the trainee assistant project coordinator will support the coordinators and Creative Engagement team to help keep delivery aligned, documented and responsive to the needs of participants, artists and partners. The role is intended to build confidence, knowledge and practical skills over time.
