Event and Activities Producer

The Events and Activities Producer will be responsible for overseeing the delivery of social activities, events and services.

Pembroke House is a centre for community, creativity and collective action in Walworth. We work across two buildings in Walworth: Pembroke House and All Saints Hall. One of our core activities is the Walworth Living Room (WLR), a space where people can hang out, enjoy various activities, build relationships with each other, eat, learn, share and create. Located in the All Saints Hall building on Surrey Square Road, it is a place where people can work together to develop models of collective support and of collective control over community resources. Staff and visitors work collaboratively to make decisions about how the space is run.

The Walworth Living Room offers a cafe, activities, resources and workshops that support people to:

●  Spend time with their friends, family and neighbours

●  Meet new people and build new relationships with people of different backgrounds and experience

●  Understand the value of social connections for individuals and society and the root causes of social isolation

●  Share and practise the skills needed to sustain healthy community in a diverse neighbourhood

●  Imagine a more just and beautiful neighbourhood

●  Build collective power that enables us to take action or create projects for the benefit of the neighbourhood

The Events and Activities Producer will be responsible for planning new activities, commissioning people to deliver them, coordinating logistics and developing a plan to monitor and evaluate them. Those activities will take place predominantly in the WLR, but may take place outside the hours it is open to the public or in our other building, Pembroke House. The role will also support other individuals and organisations to deliver activities. And it will hold overall responsibility for the schedule of all activities. Key to this role is ensuring that all activities are aligned with the organisation’s mission and values and reflect the interests of the people who use the space.

The role will be part of a team of seven staff, supervised by the Director of Programmes and the Director of Partnerships, that coordinates community-building work within the WLR as well as the broader neighbourhood.
