ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
They don’t necessarily expect applicants to tick every box below. Lived experience and a genuine commitment to change matter as much as formal credentials. Successful applicants are likely to have experience or knowledge in the following areas:
Proven knowledge of, and commitment to, access, accessibility and inclusive practice, with specific expertise relating to Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists and audiences. Personal lived experience of disability or neurodivergence is welcomed.
An understanding of the outdoor arts sector in England, including its commissioning structures, festivals and development pathways. This might be from a practice, production or development background.
Experience of providing professional access advice, consultancy or mentoring to artists or creative organisations, ideally within a live events or outdoor arts context.
Experience of planning and delivering training sessions on access or inclusion, whether for individual practitioners or organisations.
Experience of supporting artists — whether through mentoring, producing, advice-giving or programme delivery.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with artists, partners and colleagues across a range of contexts, including formal and informal settings.
The ability to manage your own time, priorities and workload effectively in a part-time, independent role.
