About the role

Create Sheffield is Sheffield’s Local Cultural Education Partnership (LCEP).

They are now seeking an experienced professional to drive forward the Create Sheffield mission and to foster collaboration with cultural partners, education settings and agencies who support child development. At this point of development, they are looking for an ideal candidate who can bring expertise in business management, fundraising and relationship building.

The role demands some authentic knowledge and ability to advocate for the power of arts and heritage in education. They seek someone with recent experience of working in the education or the cultural sector who will be able to demonstrate knowledge of issues currently facing schools and learning settings.

This post is a fixed 2-year contract with the option to review end of year 1, subject to funding.
