Are you a creative communicator with a passion for film? Do you know your way around Instagram, Threads, and Facebook? Fancy helping shape the voice of a BAFTA and BIFA-qualifying film festival?
We’re looking for a new Communications Coordinator to join the Norwich Film Festival team for our 2025 edition.
This is a part-time volunteer role with a £1000 honorarium paid at the end of the year. You’ll work closely with the Head of Communications and our existing comms assistant to help grow our social media following, shape our digital presence, and contribute to the festival’s public voice.
What the Role Involves
We’re after someone who can hit the ground running — planning posts, drafting copy, designing content, and helping us stay active online throughout the year. Your main focus will be:
-
Instagram, Threads and Facebook content creation and scheduling
-
Writing and sending email newsletters via Mailchimp
-
Updating our WordPress website with key festival info
-
Supporting our branding and tone of voice
-
Attending monthly Exec Team meetings (in-person, Norwich)
-
Watching short film submissions and joining monthly online review meetings to help shape the 2025 programme
You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you do need to be:
-
Proactive and self-starting (we don’t want to micromanage!)
-
Reliable and organised — especially in the busy autumn festival period
-
Comfortable generating and executing content ideas independently
-
Confident with digital platforms and scheduling tools
The Practical Bits
-
💼 Time commitment: 1–2 hours a week from now through December (more in October/November)
-
💷 Honorarium: £1000 (paid at the end of your term)
-
🌍 Location: Remote, with monthly in-person meetings in Norwich
-
🗓️ Start date: ASAP
-
📩 Application deadline: 8th June 2025
Ideal Experience
We’re especially keen to hear from people with:
-
Experience in digital marketing, content creation, or comms
-
Good written English and a sharp eye for social media trends
-
Familiarity with Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud, Mailchimp or WordPress
-
A genuine love for film and culture
You don’t need to have worked for a festival before — we care more about your ideas and enthusiasm than your job title.
