For the 5 years between 2018 and 2023, I worked for the charity Effervescent as Creative Producer. Effervescent was a charity that co-created creative campaigns with young people. Effervescent’s core team was very small so my role covered a lot of ground. Areas that fell under my responsibility included:
- Recruitment of participants
- Consent forms
- Health and emergency contact information
- Transportation
- Accommodation for residential trips
- Risk Assessments
- Liaising with parents, carers, teachers, social workers, mental health practitioners, and youth workers
- Liaising with clients and partners
- Managing budgets
- Safeguarding (Designated Safeguarding Officer 2021-23)
- Devising creative ideas
- Producing music and audio
- Filming location scouting and licensing
- Recruiting freelance team-members such as artists, film crew members, animators, writers, actors, photographers, web-designers, choreographers, and chaperones.
- Issuing contracts
- Licences for child actors
Clients and partners included:
- Barnardo’s
- Become Charity
- The Co-op Foundation
- Forces Children Scotland
- Plymouth City Council
- Plymouth Kurdish Community
- Save The Children
- Young Minds
