We’re hiring:

Freelance Impact Coordinator for Ours film campaign

Deadline: midnight, Sunday 1st February 2026

We’re looking for an organised and enthusiastic freelance Impact Coordinator to support community screenings for the documentary Ours ~ againn. This is ultimately a project managing role, where the Coordinator will plan screenings, liaise with groups across Scotland, promote the film and potentially facilitate discussions with participants at screenings. 

We are looking for someone who is reliable, friendly, organised and genuinely excited about the potential impact of Ours ~ againn. We need someone with a track record of successful event organisation and promotion, who is skilled at building relationships with volunteers and community groups, and who has an understanding and motivation to work on energy and just transition issues.

Platform’s vision

We want community and public ownership to be at the heart of an energy system that is inclusive, equitable and resilient for all. We want to meet the political moment by spurring on a whole new generation of collective energy projects that build long term wealth and resilience in communities across Scotland.

Our brand new short documentary, Ours ~ againn, aims to connect and empower people across the country to pursue community ownership in their own localities. Made for diverse audiences across Scotland, our film delves into community and publicly owned energy as a way to explore the principles and realities of collectivism today – how we think of what is ours,  and what that could mean for our shared future. 

Released in April 2026, the film will be screened across dozens of communities in Scotland. Our goal is to meet people where they are – in village halls, festivals and local events – and connect on issues that matter to them. Our film will pack an emotional punch, linking the seemingly mundane and bureaucratic energy system to ideas around community control, power and injustice. We want to inspire audiences with the idea that ordinary people can and should be in control of their energy system, and that collective ownership can be transformative. Our post-screening workshops will provide a framework for individuals and groups to think through the first steps of their community ownership journey. 

Coming straight off the back of Labour’s Local Power Plan, and released to be a strategic intervention in the Scottish elections, our film and impact campaign aims to shift the dial on the energy transition to win real and long-term policy change for communities across Scotland.
