Job Title: Future Movement Youth Facilitator

Hours: 1 day per week. The post holder must be available to work on Tuesday evenings (no later than 8.30pm).

Salary: £130 per day

Employment term: Fixed term from 1st February until 10th March 2023

This role is freelance.

Days/HRS of work: 1 day per week which includes Tuesday evenings 

Line Manager: Deputy Director of Audiences (Community)

Location: Toxteth Library, Windsor St, Liverpool, L8 1XF

JOB SUMMARY

Future Movement is Rambert’s free creative youth programme. It takes place in three locations over the UK: London, Greater Manchester, Mansfield – and now a pilot project in Liverpool.

Rambert and Liverpool City Council are bringing together a small cohort of brilliant and daring young people (16-21) to support them in creatively exploring what art and culture means to them, as well as developing new skills from guest artists and people who work in the creative industries. They will also make a short film about creativity with the London, Greater Manchester and Mansfield cohorts of Future Movement and share it in a celebration event in London. 

We are looking for a Youth Facilitator to play the key role in this new project, planning and facilitating regular sessions, evaluating the project, and supporting the young people with their development. 

The Youth Facilitator works in close collaboration with the Deputy Director of Audiences (Community) and Youth Producer to help shape the long-term creative vision of the project, which is driven by the young people themselves. 

The Youth Facilitator will need to be available on Tuesday evenings for the sessions which are based in Toxteth Library. 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

 While it’s essential you’re enthusiastic about the work and cause of the organisation, we are not necessarily expecting you to have significant experience in the creative sector. You may bring experience of youth facilitation in a different field. We are just as keen to see strong transferable skills, as a track record in the arts.

• To work closely with the London, Greater Manchester and Mansfield Future Movement Youth Facilitators and Deputy Director of Audiences (Community) on planning each session, incorporating regular feedback from the young people.

• Write minutes and actions from each session.
• To share insights gleaned from this project so as to help contribute to the development of other community-focused work at Rambert.

Delivery

• Deliver high quality sessions, integrating visiting artists about their careers in the creative sector.

• Empower the young people so that they feel confident and supported to make their own decisions during the sessions.

Mentoring and wellbeing 

• Build positive relationships with the young people and support them between each session in a range of methods (using text, phone call, emails or Zoom), acting as a sounding board, sign posting, offering advice on the tasks they’ve been set between sessions.
• Report any safeguarding issues with Rambert’s Safeguard Lead.

General responsibilities

• To support Rambert to proactively develop and encourage environmentally sustainable practice.
• To attend occasional staff meetings, training sessions and other events, which may sometimes take place outside normal working hours.
• Any other duties considered reasonable by the company.
• At all times to carry out duties and responsibilities with regard to Rambert’s policies and procedures, details of which are available from the Head of Human Resources and EDI.

With support from the https://www.artfund.org/ – Art Fund, they are recruiting a freelance artist to look at their longstanding Build a Banner workshop and redevelop it to ensure it meets the values and aims of our new Learning Programme.

The Build a Banner workshop in its current form is a full day session where learners find out about the history and symbolism of PHM’s unique collection of historic and contemporary banners, and work with an artist to create their own banner on a theme of their choice.

Working with PHM’s Learning Officers, they would like you to develop both a half day and a full day version of the workshop. You will then run testing workshops with groups of young people and children from both formal and informal learning groups.

These workshops will mainly be based at the museum, though some sessions may need to take place in the groups’ own settings. The evaluation from the testing sessions will inform any further changes they will make to the workshop, and whether it will be offered as a half or full day workshop.

Please submit an expression of interest, with the following information to Jackie Royle, Finance & Operations Officer at hr@phm.org.uk by 12pm on Monday 8 January 2024. You can submit an audio or video recording if preferred.
