Full time, 40 hours
Central Auckland
Community Facilitator - Media Lab
If you are a creative person who cares about your community and is familiar with a broad range of multimedia tools, this is the job for you!
As a Community Facilitator within Spectrum Care's Media Lab project, you will be responsible for working in a small team to provide learning sessions for electronic music making with software and hardware tools within our Easy Beats learning stream.
Our Onehunga-based studio has a huge range of fantastic tools, ranging from very simple synths and samplers through various groove-boxes, samplers, pedals, and drum machines to Ableton Live and various other software solutions.
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 believe that disability has no correlation with intrinsic creative ability and work towards societal change to improve broader people's perception of disabled individuals and what they are capable of.
Our sessions range from beginners to advanced, primarily practical and fun hands-on group-based learning sessions. Content from sessions is often also 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 a good 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 and 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 and establish themselves as talented artists, regardless of disability.
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 positive attitude, and a keenness to learn.
This role is a full-time position, primarily standard daytime working hours, with occasional adjustments for events. Some flexibility around hours may be considered.
Salary range is $54,000 to $65,000 depending on applicable skills, knowledge, and experience.
