We have a rare opportunity to join our team in a key strategic and operational role as Programme Manager. Working as part of a Collaborative, Responsive, Enterprising, Playful and Reflective team (Our Values!), you will lead and develop our projects and programmes with young people and adults for the South London communities we serve.
We believe that music and media, delivered in a socially and culturally relevant way, have the power to positively change and shape people’s lives. Our purpose-built 3-story base in Brixton houses recording studios, a band rehearsal space, a production suite with top industry standard tech and software. Our work takes place mainly onsite with some community-based work in hospitals or at events.
This opportunity comes at a really exciting time for Raw Material. We are soon returning to our own building which by the end of 2024 will be refurbished via a £1.1m capital fundraising campaign to improve our operational capabilities and develop income generation opportunities and new facilities for the community, with a coworking offer and an increased hires and events programme.
