PARNDON Mill is Harlow’s very own artistic and creative hub in a stunning riverside setting.  Our mission is to promote the arts throughout the town and surrounding areas.  

The Mill provides vibrant workspaces for artists, craftspeople, designers and architects to practise their craft and collaborate on creative projects.  Workshops and classes take place in artists’ studios and the Project Space, which is also available to hire.  The Gallery offers an exciting programme of affordable arts and crafts exhibitions in a friendly and welcoming environment.  

Our vision is to give everyone in our community the opportunity to experience, create and appreciate art and crafts.  

However, to fulfil our mission and to thrive, we rely on the good will of Trustees and Volunteers.  Are you ready and willing to join our small but dedicated team?  We’d love to hear from you if you’d be interested in taking up one (or more) of the following roles:

Trustees

We’re seeking new, proactive Trustees, who can dedicate time between our quarterly Board meetings.  We’re looking for people who value the importance of the arts and want to play a major part in helping push Parndon Mill forward.  We’re particularly interested in people with the following skills and knowledge, but don’t be put off from applying if you’re not quite sure how you’d fit in:

• Property management/letting/maintenance
• Finance
• Fundraising and grant applications
• Change management and people management
• Third sector and charitable organisations

Gallery Assistants

The role of Gallery Assistant covers a variety of duties.  Whilst we wouldn’t expect one volunteer to take on the whole role, opportunities are available for those with skills and experience in the following areas:

• Hospitality – Meeting and greeting visitors, ensuring a warm welcome
• Basic administration – keeping the Gallery clean and tidy, leaflet printing etc.
• Communications & Marketing – Maintaining a mailing database, updating social media etc.
• Sales – Processing Gallery sales and recording details

If you’re interested in either of these roles, we’d love to hear from you.  We would be happy to arrange a visit or call, to explain more about what would be involved.  Please email [email protected] to open the conversation.
