Job description

The Creative Practitioner role will be involved in creating and delivering engaging and innovative programmes of work that align with our objectives and demonstrate the positive impact of creative engagement.

You will work closely with our learning and participation team to develop and deliver a range of creative projects and activities, both within and outside of our venue. You will deliver and facilitate a wide range of workshops and sessions as part of the Corn Exchange core courses and workshop programme. You will also work closely with our Engagement Manager and fundraising team to ensure these projects are planned and budgeted as part of our wider strategy. Administration, monitoring, evaluation and reporting, supporting projects from start to finish, will therefore be a key element of this role.

The successful candidate will ideally have a movement or dance background, supporting the growth of this artform across our activities. We would also be keen to hear from candidates with multidisciplinary performing arts experience (E.g. actor and musician/movement and music).

This is a varied role suited to someone looking to enhance their creative practice and utilise their project management skills. It is an exciting time to join the organisation and the learning team where we have recently opened our new community arts hub and work to expand our skills development, learning and health and wellbeing programmes. You will therefore be proactive, enthusiastic and have strong organisational skills, able to work quickly and manage your time well. You will work with confidence and initiative, and enjoy working with people of all ages, seeking ideas, finding solutions and delivering activities that support individuals to have fun and benefit in a range of ways.
