Remunerated Role | Based in Southwick, Hampshire
Deadline for application: 14th September 2025
As Event Co-ordinator for Southwick Revival, you will take on a key organisational role in delivering a large-scale, two-day community event held annually in June. You’ll work closely with the Southwick Revival committee, volunteers, suppliers, and community partners to ensure the smooth and safe running of the event from planning to pack-down.
While you will be an essential part of the planning team, you won’t be doing everything alone — social media, email communications and press outreach are already handled by dedicated team members, so you can focus fully on planning and logistics.
The time commitment for this role varies throughout the year and builds gradually as the event approaches.
