Creative Writing Online Facilitator, The Scratch Theatre

We're looking for a passionate, imaginative facilitator to help us launch an exciting new creative writing project. This is not a traditional classroom environment. We're creating playful, inspiring online spaces where people can write spontaneously, explore ideas, and discover stories.

Working online you'll facilitate energetic workshops built around creative prompts created in collaboration with photographers, digital artists, and designers.

We welcome applications from anywhere, but we are particularly interested in hearing from Bristol-based facilitators.

This is a pilot project, so we're embracing experimentation, curiosity, and possibility. We don't yet know exactly where this journey will lead - and that's part of what makes it exciting.
