Do you know with which news and background stories you can boost our social media channels?

Then we have a nice place for you!

As a volunteer communication at Theater Het Pakhuis you are responsible for internal communication with the employees and volunteers and external communication with our artists and our (potential) audience. You ensure that the information about the theater and the performances is visible through various channels and ensure that the promotional material reaches the target groups. You have monthly meetings with the team to look at the activities and points for attention for the coming time, which are then divided among themselves.

Job description:

Within our enthusiastic communication team, we are still looking for a creative content employee: a word artist who can easily write catchy texts for our various channels and look for the right image. For example, you create newsletters, social media posts and press releases.

In addition, we have another vacancy open for a social media topper who, together with a fellow volunteer, wants to manage our social media channels and take them to a higher level. You become the editor-in-chief and you determine what is posted on our social media channels. This way you make others enthusiastic to come and experience the magic in our theater!

• you also have an eye for image use and design;
• has a good command of the Dutch language (both speaking and writing).

And our ideal social media hit ...

• knows how to find their way on social media and makes optimal use of it;
• understands that an image sometimes says more than 1000 words and uses that cleverly;

What can you expect from us?

• Working in a pleasant and ambitious team in which we divide the tasks in consultation
