Highlights Rural Touring Scheme is a registered charity and Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation based in Cumbria. It connects over 65 venues, an army of volunteer promoters and an ever-growing list of artists.

The Community Programmer will work with schools, libraries and community venues to plan workshops and events, sourcing and supporting professional artists to work within rural schools and communities.

20 Stories High began its life 18 years ago as an organisation dedicated to making theatre with (and for) culturally diverse, working-class young people in many contexts and settings.

They have gone through many changes over this time, adapting and evolving to meet the needs of audiences and participants in Liverpool and nationally.

The events over the last few years have been a challenge for the wider cultural sector, and the individuals involved. They know that the pandemic has disproportionately affected many young people, people from the Global Majority, and Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent people, therefore having a direct impact on many of our participants, audiences, and team members.

They recognise and understand first-hand the barriers that exist as we begin to re-emerge in a changing world. Their focus is to support these individuals and groups to continue to engage with equitable creative opportunities in a way that feels safe and inclusive.

They are looking for a Communications & Campaigns Coordinator who can bring new ideas, energy and creativity to this new role – someone who shares their values, mission, ambition and is committed to working with young audiences and participants.

Communications & Campaigns Coordinator
(22.5 Hours – Part-Time 0.6 FTE)

The Communications and Campaigns Coordinator will be responsible for 20 Stories High’s day to day communications. Coordinating project campaigns and communication plans. Feeding into the overall marketing and digital strategy to ensure effective and appropriate communication across all platforms.

It is important to them that the Communications & Campaigns Coordinator shares the company’s values, and is committed to contributing to our developing practice in terms of both wellbeing, environmental responsibility and EDIA (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Activism).

For those interested in applying they will be holding an informal group zoom meeting so you can meet the company and find out a little bit more of what they do, who they are and why they do it.

It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions about the role or the process. This will take place: Wednesday 26 June, 5pm – 6pm.

Please email recruitment@20storieshigh.org.uk if you’d like to attend.
