Arts Development Maternity Cover (Visual Arts Coordinator)

Advert

We have an exciting temporary opportunity to provide maternity cover for the support of the visual arts programme. You will oversee the programme in order to provide high standards of service delivery for residents within East Renfrewshire and the wider public. You will provide effective line management and supervision of ERCL Visual Arts Tutors and Assistants and ensure there is appropriate staffing for the delivery of the service and class programme/events to make it as accessible as possible for participants.

We need someone who has a degree in arts, community development or similar. You should be able to work independently with minimum supervision, problem solve and use professional judgement. You will also work closely with our Arts and Heritage team, Community Facilities and Business Support staff, as part of the day to day programme delivery; strong communication skills are essential.

Ideally the successful post holder will also have experience developing a range of arts projects to increase levels of participation in the arts and promote access to services.
