A different you
makes this place more interesting
From an idea to the thing itself. At plantārium you turn the issues you care about into projects, content and experiences people can walk into — starting as part of a team, ending up running your own.
Working here means making ideas actually happen
Sustainability decides what we eat every day, how we shop, how much living costs us, and what the next generation inherits. plantārium believes it should not stay a topic people only discuss, and it does not have to start with something enormous. It can be one meal, one choice, or one chance to look at daily life again.
Everyone here has their own expertise, and everyone crosses job lines to help run the building and its projects. The work does not only happen at a desk: from proposing an idea through planning, talking it through, making it and running it on the day, you get to see a whole project from end to end.
- Content planning and coming up with ideas
- Writing, image-making and video
- Communication, coordination and client service
- Event planning and running things on the day
- Guiding, hosting and speaking to a room
- Cross-role project work
- Running a mixed-use venue
Twelve roles,
each doing something concrete
Everyone has their own core work, and everyone also joins in running the building, the education visits, client hosting and project delivery.
Manager
How the building runs each day and how the team works together both sit here: line manager to every role, and the final call on the floor.
- Lead colleagues across every role, setting what we finish together each season and in what order
- Keep hold of the day-to-day: opening and closing, rosters, the space and whatever comes up
- Step forward on the things that matter with visitors, venue clients and the in-house brands
- See how each person is doing and growing; step in when needed, let go when they are ready
- Answer to the organisation for the venue’s results — bring the direction in, and the reality back
Venue marketing
Helps more people discover the space and what it stands for, from first enquiry through to an event on the floor.
- Plan venue packages and the marketing behind them
- Answer enquiries and pull together what each client needs
- Prepare quotes, contracts and pre-event reminders
- Coordinate layout, equipment and on-site staffing
- Build relationships with companies, brands and partners
Event project planner
Turns sustainability, vegetarian food and youth empowerment into talks, workshops and experiences people can join.

- Write the plan, the run sheet and the delivery schedule
- Line up speakers, brands and partner organisations
- Pull together venue, materials, budget and people

Space & exhibition planner
Lets the building speak — from a full exhibition to a theme wall to each place people pause along the way, all telling everyday sustainability.
- Plan the direction and calendar for yearly exhibitions and themed displays
- Turn sustainability, vegetarian food and local issues into exhibitions people can understand and walk into
- Design flow, interactive pieces and captions, and coordinate production and install
- Plan co-branded displays and pop-ups with the in-house brands and partners

Sustainability education & tours
Turns the building into a lesson; hosts schools, companies and visiting groups so sustainability is understood, not just heard.

- Design interactive experiences and run sheets, and train colleagues to help guide
- Gather visitor feedback and keep adjusting the programme

- Shoot people, events and the building
- Edit, subtitle and finish the films
- Watch where video is going and pitch ideas that fit us
Social & digital
Looks after how plantārium shows up online — social, the website and online interaction — so the people who care can find us and want to come back.
- Plan the social calendar and engagement, and answer messages and comments
- Maintain website content, event sign-ups and online forms
- Read social and website data and turn it into suggestions the team can act on
- Work with the content, design and video colleagues to set the publishing rhythm

Front of house & brand partners
The first person a visitor meets when they walk in, and the everyday bridge between the in-house brands and the team.
- Carry out opening and closing, building checks and visitor flow

- Be the everyday contact for the in-house brands (restaurant, bakery, market, bookshop, library)
- Look after equipment, supplies and how the spaces are being used
- Schedule and guide part-time and intern colleagues on the floor
Operations coordinator
Rarely in the picture. But trace back almost anything that went smoothly here, and you usually end up at this desk.
- Join up systems, workflows and resources so every role has solid ground to stand on
- Track budget use and resource allocation, and liaise with the organisation on HR and finance
- See every role’s timeline and needs, and clear the collisions before they happen
- The first person people think to ask when something isn’t going right
