LINE MANAGER
Head of Engagement
Creative Engagement at Eden Court is founded by our core belief in cultural democracy; that everyone is an artist and everyone we encounter has the skills and experiences to be creators of culture. Eden Court’s Engagement Department delivers creative arts projects, facilitates civic conversations and devises programmes of activity across the Highlands for people of all ages and abilities. Everything we do is imagined and delivered by our brilliant team, as well as freelancers working across the Highlands and Moray.
This is a great opportunity to spend time embedded in a professional theatre venue. During the duration of this fixed term post you will work with our junior Youth Theatre groups, deliver activity as part of our summer programme and work on our Teacher Development Fund project with rural schools across the region. The successful candidate will have access to CPD/training and the opportunity to learn from the skills and experiences of your colleagues.
This role is ideal for a practitioner who has previously delivered creative engagement, learning or participation projects using theatre to children and young people. Perhaps you haven’t worked for an arts organisation as an employee before or perhaps you have limited experience and are looking to further develop your skills and understanding of participatory practice.
We welcome interest from all sections of all communities, cultural backgrounds and candidates with disabilities. We will offer an interview to anyone who identifies as lower or working-class, a person of colour or from the global majority, transgender, non-binary or genderqueer, D/deaf, visually impaired, disabled or neurodivergent and meets the criteria listed below for this role.
The deadline is Wednesday 15 January 2025 at 12:00.
