Create Sheffield has been awarded funding from the Sheffield Virtual School to create a new guide to arts, cultural and creative family activities happening across Sheffield.

We are looking for an organised, creative and talented communicator who can support care-experienced families to create accessible and inclusive marketing that appeals to the widest definition of family.
Your role will be to work with care experienced families across Sheffield to produce an accessible and inclusive guide showcasing creative family events in the city. This guide will be created with, for and by care experienced families. As a result of the project more families across the city will know about the different activities on offer, will feel that the activities are for them and will take part in more activities.
Your role will be to
Lead the project from development, through delivery to the finished guide/marketing materials
Recruit care experienced families to take part in the project in partnership with Sheffield Virtual School
Consult with the families to find out what kind of creative events and activities they are interested in and then research what is available
Support the families throughout the project and in particular on visits, the support needed will depend on the needs of the family
Work with the families to create accessible and inclusive marketing materials that will appeal to a wide range of family audiences

Budget
This role is offered on a freelance basis and there is a budget of £7500 to cover the work.
There is a separate budget to produce the materials, for training, travel for the families etc. This role will be based in Sheffield and will require a fair amount of travel across the city. Mileage (or public transport costs) will be paid, for travel within the city but you will be expected to be based either in, or able to easily travel, to the city of Sheffield. You will need to work flexibly and be sensitive to the needs of the families. You will also need to be available to work evenings and weekends as required.
