Community Facilitator - Media Lab - Auckland
If you are a creative person who cares about your community and are familiar with a range of multimedia tools, this is the job for you!
As a Community Facilitator supporting Spectrum Care's Aspirations Day Services and our Media Lab project, you will be responsible for facilitating and developing skills-based learning sessions, particularly within creative practice and life skills.
Our Aspirations service provides community and skills-focused programmes supporting people with a range of disabilities. Sessions include cooking, bootcamps, screen-printing, horticulture, and more. Your role within Aspirations would primarily be to identify and broker new programme opportunities, as well as support our front-line staff to improve our current programmes.
Media Lab is an inclusive programme designed to unearth and support the development of creative practice for disabled people in a variety of disciplines. We believe in creative practice and the acts of creation as a means of enhancing social connection and mental well-being, and even to earn money, for disabled people. We work towards societal change in the broader perception of disabled individuals and what they are capable of.
Our Media Lab sessions range from beginners to advanced, primarily practical and fun hands-on group-based learning sessions. Content from sessions is often used on our social media and video-sharing platforms, primarily Instagram/Facebook, and YouTube. We also plan to develop bespoke content, particularly for our YouTube channel, so an active interest or knowledge in this would be beneficial.
The ideal candidate will have applicable skills and the capability to research and quickly learn how to use various tools. You will be a confident creative and have a good understanding of, and networks within, the music-making/creative communities of Tamaki Makaurau - Auckland. Ideally, you'll have a good eye for aesthetics and be able to present disabled artists in the best possible light to support their journey into the mainstream creative community.
If you have skills in other areas such as video production/streaming, DJing, photography, screen-printing, stage lighting, or other creative practices, this would also be a huge plus, as these are all areas we currently offer sessions in or have plans to do so in the future.
You do not need to be an expert in all, or even any, of these fields to be considered. The main thing we want is a good basic multimedia skillset, a good attitude and personality, and a keenness to learn.
