About the Speaking for Ourselves programme

Speaking For Ourselves is an exciting new programme funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund that will collect and share the history of the care-experienced campaigning movement since the 1970s. It was conceived within the care-experienced community, emerging from long-standing discussions about how poorly the history of the care-experienced campaigning movement has been recorded-and how easily its achievements risk being forgotten.

This important programme puts the voice of people with lived experience of care at the centre. The Speaking for Ourselves programme, delivered by Coram, is guided by a majority care-experienced Programme Board and aims to work with the wider care experienced community. The Programme Board has an advisory and representative role, to guide the successful delivery of the programme and make key decisions that shape its impact.

Speaking For Ourselves will:

• Collect, record, and digitise documents, photographs, letters, publications, and objects
• Conduct personal history interviews with people involved in campaigns and efforts for change
• Commission written pieces to fill gaps in the historical record
• Create a permanent digital archive
• Produce podcasts, a moveable display, a school's module, and a toolkit for Children in Care Councils
• Deliver three national events (one per year)
• Engage care-experienced communities through workshops, open submissions, commissions, partnerships, and outreach
• Build a lasting resource for policymakers, educators, researchers, and future campaigners.

About the role

The Audio Producer will be responsible for all audio aspects of the programme, both technical and creative. Audio elements of the project will include recording interviews, discussions, panels and round-tables; and the production of 15 podcast episodes alongside care-experienced young people.

The successful applicant will also provide training and support to care-experienced people to develop their skills in these areas, fostering their meaningful participation in the project.

We are looking for an experienced and creative Audio Producer with a passion for storytelling, ideally with experience of working with young people.

The post holder will report to the Programme Manager, and will work closely with the Engagement Coordinator and wider team to deliver the programme.
