About the Media & Messaging team
The M&M team is responsible for spreading the word about XR UK and everything we do. The circle contains the teams responsible for creating our messaging, editorial, press, social media, email, website, Telegram broadcast, photography, video, livestream and concept design.
The team sits at the very heart of XRUK, closely linked with Actions and our many allies. The team's output sets the tone and energy of the movement - this is extremely rewarding and impactful work!
The Internal Coordinator acts as the team lead, setting priorities, running the team, and driving the work.
This is one of the most impactful roles in XRUK, directly responsible for what XR says to the public.
We are keen to train up new coordinators. What we are really looking for is someone with strong interpersonal skills, who is kind, approachable, dedicated and organised. Someone who is happy to roll up their sleeves and much in, with a positive and 'can do' attitude. Everything else we can teach you! To get a bit of an understanding of the role, please see below. But please be aware that as a trainee you would be shadowing and working along side the current IC until you are ready and comfortable to take over.
