PiPA Project Manager (Return and Retain)

 

Salary: c. £26,000 pro rata

Contract: Fixed term: one year. Possibility of becoming permanent.

Responsible to: Charter Programme Manager

Line management responsibilities: Cohort of 15 performing arts practitioners.

Hours: 21h pw. Flexible working.

Location: Yorkshire-based. Working from home with possible co-working space within one of our Yorkshire partners’ buildings (subject to Covid restrictions). Some travel may be required to venues in Yorkshire. Travel expenses will be covered, and access needs will be met for both travel and building access.

Application Deadline: Monday 13th September, 9am.

Due to the objectives of this project and funding parameters, we strongly welcome applications from underrepresented groups in the performing arts, as identified through our recent research (people who are D/deaf and/or disabled, people from Black, Asian and Ethnically diverse backgrounds and parents/carers from lower socio-economic backgrounds).

Purpose of the role

Funded by the Arts Council England, PiPA is embarking on an action-research project supporting a cohort of 15 Yorkshire-based performing arts to engage in a programme of professional development opportunities, skills workshops and coaching opportunities to support and strengthen their position within the industry. The cohort will all have caring responsibilities as well as at least one additional characteristic from a group which is underrepresented in the performing arts, including, but not limited to, applicants who are D/deaf and/or disabled, people who are Black, Asian or from Ethnically diverse backgrounds, and parents/carers from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

The Project Manager will be responsible for recruiting and managing the cohort, programming interventions, as well as managing the relationships with key performing arts organisations who will provide those. The Project Manager will be responsible for the monitoring, evaluation and reporting of the project, taking a lead on focus groups, the creation of case studies and the design and delivery of a final symposium.

The role would suit someone who can confidently communicate and engage with people at all levels, who is adept at working both operationally and strategically, is equally skilled at relationship management and group facilitation, and is invested in the growing agenda of diversity and inclusion within the performing arts sector. This is a role at a growing organisation with high levels of responsibility for an ambitious candidate.

In return we proactively promote work-life balance, offer 25 days annual leave plus public holidays (pro-rated to hours worked) and provide a high degree of flexibility and autonomy in the role.
