Create, Project Manager
Create is the UK’s leading charity empowering lives, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing through the creative arts. Our focus is on engaging participants in inspiring, sustainable arts programmes in areas where provision is poor and engagement in the arts is therefore low. We know that unleashing creativity ignites imaginations, develops confidence and builds relationships. Like setting off a firework, our professional artists light the touch paper and our participants discover new found self-belief and a desire to try more, do more and be more.
At an exciting time of growth for Create, the charity is expanding its London-based project management team. Create is seeking a dynamic, energetic, people-centred individual with significant levels of experience of managing creative arts projects in education and community settings. This full time position would suit someone with a passion for the arts – and the power of the arts as a transformational tool in challenging community settings – who has extensive project management experience gained in the arts or charity sector.
You will be responsible for managing a portfolio of Create’s projects and will oversee our freelance professional artists and freelance project managers at workshops and events. You will have outstanding interpersonal, negotiation and organisational skills and the ability to communicate effectively, persuasively and empathetically with a variety of different groups of vulnerable people. As Create continues to develop its work over the coming years, the job may involve increasing levels of UK travel.
