Community Organiser

- To listen to local residents, workers and groups and report and make use of the findings
- To support with the recruitment of learners and residents onto CCDT programmes
- To support with activities and events and support the work of the Heritage and Learning Officer
- To keep informed and well briefed on relevant local and national political, social and economic developments
- To represent CCDT professionally, clearly and coherently in writing, verbally and in public
- To broker opportunities for the organisation and its leaders to develop positive partnerships and agreements with other organisations and stakeholders
- To handle own administration efficiently and develop administrative systems which ensure the smooth running of CCDT

Project Coordinator
12 month contract. £25k pro rata. 15 hours per week.
This project will showcase new and emerging musical talent from the local area. It will support musicians who are still studying as they train towards a future career – working in partnership with the music departments of Chichester University; and existing, independent performers whose careers are more developed but have suffered profoundly from the impact of Covid and the total absence of opportunities or are new and emerging, in search of a platform to get underway with their career. Efforts will go towards supporting young people who have missed so much of their usual ability to connect with wider society and benefit from engaging with live music, by providing free access to the music for under 18s and students. Tickets for all others will be kept highly affordable at just £5 for an entire evening of live music. Visitors to many of the evenings will also benefit from the free provision of a hot meal, produced from food that would otherwise be sent to landfill. Performance and recording opportunities will be made available with youth training schemes in sound and lighting. Young people interested in potentially pursuing careers in the industry will be trained up on the high-quality sound and lighting desks CCDT own, trained by industry professionals, with real world experience at managing the sound and light for the acoustic evenings of music. The purpose of the role is to encourage and enable the engagement of young people aged 16-25 into positive activities and to engage with the residents, families and their children and local community.
