Foundation Coordinator

Closing date: 5pm on 21st February 2021

Job type: Six-month fixed term contract

The Photography Foundation is looking for an organised and dynamic Foundation Coordinator to join the team and support the Head of Foundation in delivering the training programme and community projects.

About us

The Photography Foundation creates pathways to professional photography for less advantaged and under-represented young adults in London by offering education, professional development and alternative routes to careers in the creative industries. For many young adults, a lack of financial resources, opportunities or industry connections mean that a career in photography is out of reach. We believe that talent and motivation should be more important than who you know or where you come from, and it's our mission to make this a reality. Through our training programme and community outreach projects, we aim to remove barriers to entry and open photography careers to all, welcoming in the next generation of diverse creative talent.

The role

You will be supporting our Head of Foundation with all practical aspects of delivering and evaluating our training programme and community projects. Here are some key areas you’ll be involved in:

  • Coordinate the recruitment, delivery and evaluation of our training programme
  • Be the first point of contact for all trainee and workshop facilitator enquiries
  • Coordinate onboarding procedures, induction, feedback and monitoring processes monitoring for the training programme
  • Support the trainees and workshop facilitators in coordinating any resources they might need for their projects and workshops
  • Coordinate the delivery of outreach workshops, open days, public talks and events
  • Contribute to the production of print and digital collateral for the promotion of events and programmes (brochures, flyers, posters etc.)
  • Write content for social media and work with our Social Media Manager to share any promotional or marketing material for our programmes and events.

What we’re looking for

This role would be well-suited to someone with ideally 18 months’ experience in administration, events or project coordination within an educational setting, working with young people. We’re looking for someone with an interest in arts education or event management.

Must haves

  • Experience managing and implementing administrative processes and excellent Microsoft Office 365 skills
  • Experience working with young adults in an educational context (in a professional or volunteer role) and an understanding of working in an educational environment
  • Proven ability to engage and communicate with a diverse range of people and partners from the public, private and third sector, demonstrating strong interpersonal skills

  • Ability to work occasional weekends and evenings when events are taking place
  • Knowledge of social media and basic copywriting for communications.

Nice to haves

  • Experience using Adobe Creative Cloud software
  • Previous experience working in events in the creative sector
