Outreach Manager

This is a unique opportunity to join one of the world's leading film conservatoires as we expand our outreach and community engagement work. As Outreach Manager, you will lead on developing and delivering creative access programmes that open the world of filmmaking and storytelling to schools, young people and underrepresented communities.

You'll shape partnerships, secure funding, and design inspiring projects that connect our central London base with the wider world. If you believe passionately in the power of storytelling to engage, uplift and include, we want to hear from you.

What you will do:

• Lead the delivery of a new outreach strategy aligned with LFS's values of diversity, equity and access
• Deliver dynamic, film-based project and workshops that introduce communication and creative skills to new audiences
• Build lasting relationships with schools, community groups, youth organisations, funders and local authorities
• Coordinate a growing network of tutors and facilitators with experience delivering to young and underrepresented groups
• Manage budgets, reporting, and safeguarding responsibilities with rigour and professionalism
• Promote the outreach programme as part of LFS's external engagement and sector leadership.

Who we are looking for:

• A track record of delivering arts, media or creative training with young people and/or disadvantaged groups
• A strong understanding of funding landscapes in the cultural, education or outreach sector
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• A flair for collaboration, and a commitment to inclusion
• Experience in filmmaking or screen education (desirable but not essential)

If this sounds appealing, we welcome your application. We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and with diverse professional experience. You might have extensive outreach, youth work and community work or cultural experience in your area with limited film industry experience, or conversely, extensive industry experience with limited outreach work.

In every case, you must be excited about the opportunity and passionate about film skills and storytelling. You'll also need the personal skills, charm, tenacity and entrepreneurial bent to develop a potentially UK-leading film education and outreach programme.

We offer a highly competitive staff benefits package including 30 days leave per annum (pro rata for part-time staff), employer matched contributory pension scheme (4%), season ticket and hardship loan schemes, cycle to work scheme and Employee Assistance Programme.
