We’re seeking an Engagement Producer for our 10 Year Celebration Flag Parade

We are seeking a well-connected Engagement Producer to support local community members to engage and play an active role in the T100 Celebration Flag Parade we are holding to celebrate 10 years of Walking, Talking and Making in Thurrock on 22 June 2024.  

The event offers an opportunity to come together and mark this important local milestone with the many people who have been involved in different ways over the years. It also provides an exciting and important means to engage new people in T100 activity and local creative and cultural activity more generally. 

With an nine-year track-record of successful delivery, and having secured funding for the next two years, T100 Festival is entering a new phase of development that will see it grow to deliver year-round activity, engaging with more people on a deeper level to make a real impact and becoming self-sustainable as an organisation from 2026.

Prior to the event, you’ll be identifying target groups, researching contacts and devising effective methods of both re-engaging community members and organisations as well as engaging local residents who are new to T100. On the event day you’ll be supporting those involved to have a fantastic time celebrating alongside other community members.  

With experience in, and a real passion for, community engagement and participation, you’ll be a great people person, organised and ready to hit the ground running. Experience of working with local communities in Thurrock is essential. 

This is an exciting opportunity to ensure the T100 Finale Flag Parade is a lively community celebration which a wide range of Thurrock’s diverse communities play a role in and enjoy. 

The engagement will be for 8 days between early May and late July 2024, to be worked as agreed with the T100 team. You’ll need the capacity to be flexible with your time, particularly as we reach the event date on 22 June. You will be very much ‘on-the-ground’ in the local community and due to the nature of the role, some evening and weekend work will be required.  

Closing date: 11 April 2024.
