Working at Signals

That's Lisa at work at Signals 25th anniversary event last month.

Education Co-ordinator Position – A message from Lisa, the current post holder:

“I have worked at Signals for 5 years and in this time I have truly been able to shape the role according to the needs of our business and the industry. The great thing about this job is that no two days are the same. One day I’ll be meeting clients and networking at events, the next I’ll be jumping around excitedly explaining how animation works to primary school children and later on I’ll be busily writing a funding application for a new project. The role would be great for someone who is flexible, passionate and a great problem solver but also offers a creative individual the chance to put forwards their own ideas for projects and business opportunities. In 2009 I started Signals Youth Film Club, which is still going strong today and now gives young people the chance to gain experience of work by assisting on workshops and sitting on our Youth Panel in Board meetings. So it just goes to show that Signals is a supportive and encouraging environment to unleash your ideas.

Signals is a wonderful place to work. You will be part of a small, dedicated core team, but will have the opportunity to work with lots of other people including funders, freelancers and partner organisations. Someone who is personable, confident and a good leader should excel in this role. The team are always available to discuss day-to-day work and offer support. Having worked for large organisations before, it’s great to be able to sit down with a boss who knows your name and talk through any issues you may have in a relaxed setting!

If I could offer one tip for the person covering my maternity leave it would be to focus on nurturing existing partnerships and seek out funding sources for the coming year(s). Oh, and try not to judge my filing system too much ;-)  “
