We are seeking an experienced and dynamic arts professional to join the team on a full time, 24-month, fixed term basis to lead on the Economic Growth and the Climate Emergency and Sustainability goals outlined in Wandsworth’s Arts and Culture Strategy 2021-31.

The successful candidate will join a proactive and award-winning Arts and Culture Service, within a borough that prides itself on delivering a wide range of creative opportunities for everyone living, working and visiting the borough. For more details on the work already happening in the borough visit Wandsworth Council’s Arts section, Wandsworth Arts Fringe and explore here on Wandsworth Art.

We are open to hybrid working and particularly welcome applications from sections of the community who are currently under-represented within our teams, including back and ethnic minority communities. We understand the value of what a diverse workforce brings to our local authority and therefore strongly encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply for this position.

In return, we can offer you working arrangements that will enhance your work-life balance.  These include flexible working (dependent on service need) and a generous holiday allowance of 31 days plus bank holidays. In addition, we offer a range of staff benefits such as membership of the Local Government contributory pension scheme, childcare vouchers, new technology scheme, interest-free loans on annual travel cards, discounts at many leisure activities, restaurants, shops and other establishments. A wide range of developmental opportunities is also offered.
