Christmas Lectures Project Coordinator, The Royal Institution

Started by Michael Faraday in 1825, and broadcast on national television every year, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES  are the UK's flagship science series. The three-part series is filmed in front of a live studio audience in the Ri’s famous lecture theatre and watched by millions on the BBC over the festive period and on BBC iPlayer and the Ri YouTube channel afterwards.

This year is the Christmas Lectures' 200th anniversary celebrations and we have an exciting opportunity for a Project Coordinator to work closely with the production team to coordinate the planning and production of the filmed lectures. You will liaise with our Youth Summit partners, livestream hosts, subcontractors, guests and colleagues. You will develop and collate guidelines for hands-on activities, support the delivery of Youth Summits held at the Ri and at partner venues, and produce and maintain schedules, scripts, kit lists and other project management documentation. 

If you have experience of working on events or activities aimed at public audiences, delivering complex, high-impact projects successfully, on-time and on-budget, we would love to hear from you. You will need excellent administrative and organisational skills, good communication skills, with an ability to adapt to difference audiences. Experience of working in either TV/ event production or with schools, families and young people would be desirable.
