Founded in 1941 for young evacuees from London during the Second World War, The Pioneer Club is a registered CIC and charity supporting communities in St Albans and beyond. With our partners, we deliver arts programmes, music and skateboarding through events, workshops, training, and classes. Whether it’s live music in our iconic music hall, lessons with our amazing team of pro skateboarders, or on the stage with our performing arts programmes, there’s something for everyone at The Pioneer!
As an historic grassroots music venue, we have witnessed some of the biggest names in music come through our doors, including Motorhead and The Zombies of “She’s Not There”. Enter Shikari are another hugely successful St Albans band who started out at The Pioneer Club, before moving on to achieve global success, including headlining Download Festival and performing at Wembley Arena.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Taking part in extra cirricular activities is so important for children and young people. Access to skateboarding, dance, music, art and other performing arts leads to benefits such as:
-Improved self-esteem and self-control
- Decreased hyperactivity and inattention
- Reduced antisocial or criminal behaviours
- Improved prosocial behaviours, such as empathy and helping others
Sadly, funding for the youth activity is decreasing year on year. And grassroots music venues are closing at a rate of 2 per week. This affects all young people, but especially those from the least advantaged communities who, as a result, may never pick up a musical instrument or have access to art and culture.
As a charity, we couldn’t exist without the support of our volunteers. As part of the team, you will be helping us to market our events and activities and to develop and support our website, which helps us to raise the funds to keep going, and ensure that every young person has access to the arts, no mater their circumstance.

This role will include:

Content Creation: Develop engaging and compelling content for various marketing channels, including social media, mailings, and website updates
Social Media Management: Assist in managing and growing our social media presence by creating and scheduling posts, engaging with followers, and tracking analytics
Campaign Support: Contribute to the planning and execution of marketing campaigns to raise awareness and drive support for our charitable initiatives
Collaboration: Work closely with the wider team to brainstorm ideas, provide input on strategies, and contribute to the overall marketing plan
Graphic Design: Create visually appealing graphics for promotional materials, ensuring alignment with our brand guidelines
Research: Stay informed about marketing trends, competitor activities, and relevant news to optimise our marketing efforts
ARE YOU?

- Passionate and knowledgeable about marketing
- Reliable, and able to commit to the role

If this sounds like you, we would love to have you on our team!
TIME COMMITMENT
We can’t deliver our services without the generosity and time of our volunteers, so work to be flexible around you. You can commit to anything from a few hours a week, or more.
WHAT CAN WE GIVE YOU?
- A benefits package including: access to exclusive Pioneer supporter events, early booking privileges for music and other events, room booking discount, a free weekly skate session
- The chance to be part of a team with regular meet ups and social events
