Culture House is looking for a highly motivated, creative, and dynamic individual to join our team, and help support our ambition to provide people of all ages with the opportunity to participate in high quality Somali and black culture, heritage, and arts activities in London. Culture House will offer heritage lectures/ demonstrations, workshops, readings (poetry/ prose), oral history presentations on the premises, as well as outside Culture House e.g. schools, community centres, other culture institutions, etc. Learning activities will benefit anyone seeking to understand or engage with Somali culture, including members of the public, school students and teachers, staff of public authorities.
We are seeking an individual with experience of planning and delivering cultural learning activities including exhibitions, poetry clubs, community memories projects, learning activities, educational programs, and outreach programs/ workshops. The successful candidate will have a good knowledge of a range of culture and heritage practices and techniques and be comfortable in delivering learning activities to a range of audiences. They will use their passion for Somali heritage to reach local communities with little or no previous experience of Somali heritage and create a network of beneficiaries to sustain and grow the Culture House activities. Due to the nature of the work this post requires regular evening and weekend work mostly during term time.
