Job Role

Projects are widely varied, examples include but are not exclusive too; activity pack preparation, multi-school touring, community events, online events and film development.

Projects delivered by Unique Voice have highly impactful outcomes, with important learning and developments for children, young people and their families both in educational settings and the community. Therefore this role comes with a high level of responsibility to ensure the aims and objectives of each project are met.

This role requires efficiency in team work and communication, being able to take the project briefs and execute the needs for all involved stakeholders.
