Description

Job Summary

Job Title: Programme Manager Contract Type: 0.8 FTE (4 days a week) Salary: £29K FTE At The Portland Inn Project, we are passionate about the impact of arts and culture on community development, and we’re looking for a programme manager who shares our passion for people led change.

Job Description

The Programme Manager will support the director team and work with the Operations Manager to plan and deliver the PIP programme and ensure it meets the organisation's strategic ambitions.

This role ensures a programme of high-quality art and culture, responsive to local needs and desires, that is delivered and made accessible for audiences in the PIP neighbourhood and nationally.

The Programme Manager will be responsible for managing and supporting on a range of our programme strands, including the continuation of all programme elements that involve community and relationships, food and health activity, summer programme and seasonal creative projects. It will also focus on the delivery of The Portland Inn Project's programme of educational, skills development and creative activity that builds on PIP's ten years of responsive working in the neighbourhood.

PIP has built significant trust in the neighbourhood, and this role acts as a representative for the organisation and the mission, fostering welcome to our community of neighbours and creatives.

Ideally the individual in this role is comfortable in a community context and confident at being a face to our organisation and taking great care of their public facing duties.

This is a pertinent and exciting moment for the organisation, as we prepare to move into our future building - the first cultural space of its kind in the city, and this role will support the organisation to design and deliver a contemporary community and arts programme for the neighbourhood, that also reaches a city-wide audience.
