Operational Committee 2025 Info Session

Operational Committee Info Session

👷‍♂️ EMBASSY is seeking a new Operational Committee member to join us in June. Applications will be open from 26th March-23rd April. In preparation for writing your application we recommend you attend our info session on 20th March 5-7pm. Here you can chat with our outgoing committee member Lucas Priest to gain a first hand perspective of what it takes to co-organise EMBASSY. Lucas will NOT be sitting on the interview panel or reading any applications.

🛠️ being on the Operational Committee is a dynamic role that includes hands on physical work, creative decision making and admin! You will be working alongside Alice Disken, Ezra Berrnico and Millie Player within a non-hierarchical environment. As well as programming and installation you will be responsible for accounting, budgeting, marketing, reporting, fundraising and ensuring the safety and maintenance of our building.

💸 The role is paid 15hrs a week at £14.63 an hour on a freelance ‘worker’ contract. Additional voluntary hours will be required when necessary to meet specific deadlines e.g. Exhibition openings, funding applications, or workshop prep. (❗This is required surprisingly often and can occur on a weekly basis, we will discuss this in more detail at the info session❗) We are looking for someone to hold the position for 2 years.

✍️ Specific details for how to apply and interview dates will be published alongside the Open Call on 26th March.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Attendance of our info session will not be considered as part of your application, it’s more for you than us, EMBASSY is not a normal workplace so we want to share as fully as we can the realities and scope of the role, so you can best understand if it’s something that will work for you.
