If you are looking for a unique and rewarding opportunity to put your creative skills to good use, then we would like to hear from you!
About the role
We are seeking someone who can bring their creative skills to our Drawing Room enterprise. Our Enterprise projects are opportunities that provide a realistic working environment. The Drawing Room provides a unique opportunity for clients to develop new skills, confidence and self-expression through the medium of art.
As the lead for this area, you will be responsible for planning, delivering and evaluating a range of activities for our adult clients in line with their individual plans and outcomes. You will also work closely with our Education teams to organise sessions for the College and School learners which are in line with their curriculum pathways.
This busy and varied role means that you will also be actively involved in our events calendar attending various events both on and offsite throughout the year to maximise sales and promote the products made here at St Elizabeth’s!
About you
You will be a motivated and enthusiastic individual with excellent communication skills and the ability to lead and motivate a team. Experience and a keen interest in Craft, Art and Jewellery making in a similar role is preferred, but a willingness to roll your sleeves up and get involved, combined with a genuine interest in the people that we support is essential. Experience using Photoshop or other technical programmes would also be an advantage.
The successful candidate will have a Level 2 in Health & Social Care.
