Are you
passionate about creative programming and cultural placemaking?
An exciting
opportunity has arisen for a Creative Programme Lead for Selby’s new Place
Partnership project, Now Then!.
We are seeking a Creative Lead
who wants to work in a small, collaborative, and creative Partnership. The
successful candidate will be supported by the Programme Manager (NYC’s Major
Projects Lead) to shape, produce, and deliver a diverse range of innovative
projects and events, co-ordinating cross-programme work to
ensure successful delivery and creative outcomes.
Now Then! is an ambitious cultural place-based programme of arts,
events and activities which
will take place in the town centres of Selby, Sherburn and Tadcaster from April
2024 to the Spring of 2026. Funded by
Arts Council England’s Place Partnership Fund, UK Shared Prosperity Fund and
North Yorkshire Council’s Cultural Development Fund, this transformative
programme will be steered and developed by a partnership of community and
cultural organisations and will create joyful, memorable and authentic cultural
experiences, targeted to local and creative communities’ needs and aspirations.
It will include an impactful co-curated
programme of commissions: highly visible artworks, happenings and experiences
supporting cultural place-making and regeneration ambitions; telling the
stories of places and people, focusing on people’s pride in where they live and
the deep roots of the district.
This is a great time to join us as you
will also be part of a new Culture and Archives team at North Yorkshire Council
which has seen the coming together of officers from across the county, offering
the opportunity to share skills and collaborate.
The Creative Programme Lead will relish the freedom to shape this newly
created role and make a real difference to the area and its resident and
creative communities through the delivery of an impactful, diverse and
inclusive programme.
The ideal candidate will be highly organised and creative, a motivated
self-starter with strong planning, evaluation and communication skills who can
confidently and independently manage an exciting and varied workload.
You will be a collaborator, with the ability to work, commission and
engage with a range of people. Committed to building excellent working relationships
you will champion co-production and understand the impact of arts and cultural
activities on health and wellbeing, education and economic growth.
