PRINT MEDIA VOLUNTEER

Would you like to play a significant and lively role in the team that continues the 90-year tradition of bringing the finest chamber music to Haslemere?

That team presently consists of 8 trustees and a further 10 experienced volunteers. HHH (Haslemere, Hindhead and Headley) Concerts is a registered charity and we are all unpaid volunteers - a dedicated and friendly bunch who would welcome you as we expand our activities. The number of concerts planned for 2024-25 is around 16 from September to April.

Want to know more? Here is a brief summary of the role and the skills and experience we seek.

As Print Media Volunteer you will support the marketing processes of the charity, working with the Chairman, Website Manager and Social Media Volunteer.

The working times are of your own choosing, from home, with some physical distribution of printed promotional matter in and around Haslemere.

Specific duties include:

  • Coordinating production and placement of articles and advertisements in local print media, plus production of flyers and posters (but not programmes) to achieve maximum exposure of the concert programme, meeting planned deadlines and budgets.

  • Contributing to and coordinating the content of promotional materials making use of photos etc. (provided by others). The number of concerts planned for 2024-25 is around 16 from September to April.

  • Distributing, along with others, printed flyers and posters in the local area.

  • In due course, producing the print media budget and monitoring it for good value.

Attributes required:

  • Good office skills including use of software for meetings (Teams and Zoom) and file management (DropBox and GoogleDocs), for which training can be given.

  • Ability to organise own workload as part of a virtual team with no fixed office and to achieve planned deadlines.

  • Writing and editing skills.

  • Familiarity with the Haslemere area including Godalming.

Desirable attributes:

  • While familiarity with print media and design software is desirable it is not essential and you will be supported while you learn.

  • Able to contribute ideas to how HHH can widen its appeal and broaden its customer base.

  • While there is no obligation to attend HHH concerts we hope you will, and that you will have an appreciation of live instrumental music and be an ambassador for HHH.
