This is an exciting opportunity to work on a culture and creative-led regeneration pilot project in Berwick-upon-Tweed called Create Berwick until 2027. It is one of three Culture and Creative Zones funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority to test innovative ways to deliver social and economic development.
Northumberland County Council is leading on a place-based approach to investing in Berwick's creative and cultural sectors to develop new skills, increase creative and cultural businesses and attract greater numbers of visitors to Berwick. Create Berwick will do this by working closely with the creative, cultural and community sectors to build cultural assets and enhance Berwick's reputation as a thriving cultural destination.
Your role is to support the Create Berwick (CCZ) Project Manager in the development and delivery of major projects, working closely with a range of key delivery partners and stakeholder groups.
You will be proactive and pragmatic, with experience and the ability to think creatively and find solutions, which will then be delivered as activities or actions. You will have experience working in the cultural sector, developing, organising, and delivering projects. The post requires you to work with diverse groups of people, from volunteer-led organisations to cultural leaders, and requires effective communication skills. An ability to work with diverse teams is essential. You will have a good knowledge of the creative and cultural industries and be able to make connections and identify exciting opportunities.
The position is based at Berwick upon Tweed, with visits to County Hall, Morpeth, and flexible working in place. It will involve travel across Northumberland on occasion and require some out-of-hours work at the weekend or evening.
The starting salary is £29,269 (Band 6).
