Get Creative Manager
Full time (37.5 hours a week), permanent, starting at £36,000 per annum
We’re looking for an education specialist who can lead our schools and young people provision.
Join a dedicated team, delivering a wide-ranging programme to a diverse span of people across Cornwall. The Creative team work with more than 11,000 young people each year, a large percentage of which are via our schools and education projects. These aren’t just numbers – they’re people whose lives we’re enhancing, and we’re hungry for more. Working at the heart of an inclusive and agile team, you’ll have the smarts to respond to changing circumstances, spotting trends and driving a genuine difference for everyone we work with.
This role would suit someone who has worked in a teaching or formal education setting – a deliverer, a teacher, a doer, a creative, a strategist, a communicator, a positive force, a multitasker, a juggler, a connector – sound like a lot? It is! We need someone who can enthuse and engage the next generation through dance, music, acting and song. You’ll be a proactive, self-motivated no-nonsense person who gets it done. A committed collaborator, you’re ready to bounce ideas and forge strategy.
Beneath all that energy and drive, you’ll embrace sound methodology too: we use data to drive our activity and prove our impact. We work strategically behind the scenes with advocacy, policy documents, national partners, the local authority and regional partners.
If you’ve got the stamina, determination and drive to play your part, then we want to hear from you!
