• Develop engaging creative-learning resources and materials (handouts, slides, visual prompts, digital media) that reflect inclusive and person-centred practice.

• Help promote the education programme: creating content for newsletters, social media, the website and other communication channels to attract new learners and raise awareness of our work.

• Collect and analyse feedback from participants and help with basic evaluation of outcomes (e.g., how sessions impacted learner well-being, engagement, confidence).

• Contribute ideas for new course proposals, pilot projects or collaborations with community partners.

• Support the team with general administrative tasks: scheduling workshops, liaising with tutors/volunteers, maintaining learner databases, updating internal documentation.

• Occasionally assist at events or open-studios and support volunteer induction or sessions.
