We're looking for an Engagement and Content Distributor intern
DEADLINE for application: 20th April 2023
The ‘Communications: Engagement and Content Distribution’ Internship is now available to a person with the right match of passion, creativity, attitude, and commitment to a decolonial approach to social change. We are looking for proven experience in distributing digital film content across various platforms, as well as an aptitude for researching new and creative ways to support the distribution of films from Insightshare Indigenous Network to reach as far and wide as possible.
This person will support the communications team in sourcing and creating written captions for content, updating Insightshare’s website, whilst publishing this content, and maintaining a regular presence, on Insightshare social media platforms. We particularly encourage applications from People of Colour (POC) and minority ethnic backgrounds, as these groups are underrepresented in the sector. If you have the right skills, passion and aptitude to join our team, you can help shape this role! Past internships have led to longer-term jobs at InsightShare.
