Web Site Manager

Brighton and Hove Arts Council (BHAC) is a charity run entirely by volunteers, all interested in the arts and with a shared commitment to support our not-for-profit arts groups members who provide a wealth of entertainment and enjoyment to the local community. We cover all arts areas including visual arts, music, drama, dance, spoken and written word. The site is used by people all over the area to find out what is on in the arts area and to seek out arts groups to join. It is used by our not-for-profit members to post their activities and to recruit new members. The site has an online copy of Arts Diary which gives details of arts activities in East Sussex.  

The site also promotes BHAC activities. Each year we run an art exhibition, drama competition, an Outstanding Contribution to the Arts Award and every two years a poetry competition and festival. 

There is  is a connection to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Skills

We are looking for a volunteer to manage our very active website:

• With experience of posting items on a website.
• Who can write copy and design new layouts.
• The role involves posting and updating information on our activities and that of member groups, and making sure that the site is always up-to-date and lively, and encourages people to return on a regular basis.
• The website runs on WordPress, so experience of that platform would be an advantage as well as a knowledge of social media.
• We have an IT specialist who manages the technical side, and the Arts Diary editor can also assist when required. 

Benefits

• You would be playing a vital role in enabling BHAC to further enrich the arts in the local community.
• You would be joining an enthusiastic group of people supporting the local arts in all their forms.
• You would also be invited to our prestigious Spring Art Show Private View, Autumn Drama Awards Ceremony and the biennial Poetry Festival. 

Practical Considerations

• There are no fixed hours. All that will be required, will be a few hours a week working from home.

• Attendance at some of the committee meetings (around 6-8 meetings per year) would be an advantage, but they are not dull!
• Meetings are held in the early evening, in Brighton, around 6-8 times a year.
