About You
We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative graduate who is genuinely passionate about the arts and about opening up cultural experiences to wider audiences. You will bring strong written and verbal communication skills - whether that’s writing a member newsletter, promoting an event on social media, or welcoming visitors on the night.
You will be well-organised, able to juggle multiple projects and deadlines, and confident working both collaboratively across a team and independently on your own areas of responsibility. You will have a proactive, self-starting approach: someone who brings ideas, takes initiative, and is keen to make a real contribution to creative programme development.
An interest in community engagement, audience development, or the cultural sector is important, and we particularly welcome graduates who understand the value of inclusive creative communities and who are motivated to help build them. Willingness to work flexibly – including one evening per month for Locksbrook Lates – is essential.
