CACN is expanding and, with great projects lined up, we’re looking to recruit new members of our freelance team.
Trainee Producer – See It To Be It
See It To Be It is our new Arts Council-funded project designed to help more young Cumbrians to pursue creative careers.
Over the next two years, Cumbria Arts and Culture Network will be offering three six-month opportunities to learn the ropes, gain experience in a range of different activities and build contacts. This is the first of three trainee opportunities.
As Trainee Producer, you will play a key role in See It To Be It, helping to shape and deliver the project by drawing on your own experience and strengths
The core responsibilities will be to:
- Create social media and podcast content that cuts through and speaks to young people in Cumbria
- Help establish and take part in the See It To Be It Youth Advisory Group to ensure the voice of young creatives is clearly heard as the project develops
- Help to plan and deliver CACN events (online and in person)
We’re keen to help you develop as a creative professional, so we will shape the rest of the role around your needs and strengths as well as what you can already offer CACN.
This programme is aimed at those beginning their careers, particularly aged 18-30, but we welcome applications from all adults over 18.
8 hours per week for six months. £20 per hour
