Employment and volunteering opportunities at Tyneside Cinema 
We require a Future Cinema Project: Young Advocate
Part of Changemakers Future Cultural Leaders Programme
We are looking for a motivated and passionate person aged 16-25 to get creative and work with us to develop new ideas about how we communicate with young people and how they can get involved with what we do. Working mostly on the Future Cinema project, but also on some of our other activities for young people, you'll help us to make sure young people's voices are heard at Tyneside Cinema.
Future Cinema is an exciting project at Tyneside Cinema for creative young people aged 14-19 interested in film, video, digital media, animation and art. Taking place in our newly designed space, The Factory, young people are invited to share ideas, learn new skills and make moving image work with other young people. For those interested in a career in the Media/Arts industries, there will also be opportunities to work alongside professionals.
Role description
You are invited to lead a project to help Tyneside Cinema support and develop the Future Cinema programme. We believe the most effective way for us to listen to and involve young people is to employ a Young Advocate (you!) for six months and support you to represent young people at Tyneside Cinema.
Fee
The project will run over a six month period and you will be paid for a total of ten days work over this time. When you work is quite flexible, so if you're still in full time education that's not a problem. Your payment will be £50 a day plus reasonable expenses. You should view this as a personal development opportunity as well as a paid job and you will hopefully make some great contacts and friends for life too!
Tyneside Cinema is the North East of England's only full-time independent specialised cinema and has a highly successful cultural film programme, festivals, special events and an extensive learning programme.
