Recruitment
Due to lockdown restrictions in Govt response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was agreed that all roles were now to be carried out by the existing YOUTH CLUB team, apart from the x10 Outreach Champions whom were appointed remotely to collect youth culture memories.
As part of the project we recruited over 83 volunteers remotely and managed through an online booking system on our website. Volunteers were recruited through social media ads on Facebook, Instagram and though Mailers. We were pleased to find that online recruitment numbers beat number our previous projects, and we found that more volunteers were available to work remotely due to flexibility or furloughed careers.
On July 22, 2020 we approached Create Jobs NPO in order to direct some recruitment budget towards employing a Project Assistant to take up the extra workloads faced by the team as the project began to recover from previous lockdown restrictions.

Create Jobs looked at previous participants from their New Museum School programme (of which we have conducted workshops with in 2018, 2019, and 2020). We provided a job statement and Rachel Baskeyfield of Create Jobs advertised across their programmes and selected 5 shortlisted candidates.
We conducted interviews with two shortlisted candidates on the week of 17 August 2020, and on merit of working with Southbank Centre and having archival project experience, we employed Jasper Van Der Kort on 25th of August 2020 on a part time basis, x3 days per week on London Living Wage to deal with the incredible incoming stream of daily public submissions and a increase in social media activity. As a result Jasper has gone on to become a permanent member of the team with a long term and permanent contract as Projects Assistant.
