Purpose of Post
As Community Engagement Coordinator, you will help connect people across Derby with Derby Theatre’s creative learning, participation and community programmes. You will make sure projects are well organised, effectively communicated and delivered to a high standard, creating a positive and welcoming experience for young people, partners, students, artists and communities.
This is a varied, people-focused role combining project coordination, relationship building, communications and administration. You will act as a key point of contact for designated projects and partnerships, working with schools, community groups, libraries, students, cultural organisations, artists and practitioners. From coordinating schedules, bookings and venues to supporting workshops, performances, training sessions, partnership programmes and events such as the Eagle Awards, you will help ensure activity runs smoothly, safely and inclusively.
You will also help us demonstrate and celebrate the difference our work makes. Working with colleagues, you will gather participant stories, testimonials, images, evaluation information and case studies; create accessible content for digital channels, presentations and reports; and ensure that the voices of communities, participants and artists are represented authentically. You will maintain accurate project records, contribute to reports for funders and stakeholders, and support consultation that enables local people to influence future programmes.
