Cultural Enrichment Programme Coordinator

Our artists and their practice is central to our work, and our Cultural Enrichment Programme supports our artists to undertake bespoke work placements that develop their experience, knowledge, confidence and employability skills.

This programme has seen people gain valuable work experience, whilst enriching cultural spaces. Some of our artists have gone on to gain long-term volunteer work and employment with cultural venues, and our long-term ambition is for this programme to support and prepare venues to employ learning-disabled people on a permanent basis.

This ground-breaking initiative has built strong and rich partnerships with venues including Manchester Museum, the Royal Exchange Theatre, the Whitworth Art Gallery, Open Eye Gallery, The Wellcome Collection, The National Football Museum, The British Museum, MIF, HOME and many more.

We are looking for an organised individual with a passion for the arts, who enjoys working with people and is skilled at supporting individuals to flourish. You will be a strong communicator who is able to cater information to different learning styles, as well as being confident in liaising with arts professionals.

This is a great opportunity to join a welcoming, supportive and passionate team.
