Creative Arts Workshop Leader
Based at our Thorpe Hesley site in Rotherham
£23,400 per annum
​
We are looking for a creative individual to run workshops and support and develop creative volunteer placements and community projects for artists with learning disabilities and/or autism.
A normal day at Art Works could involve supporting another leader to run a workshop, working on commissioned work such as merchandise or a mural off-site, or running your own creative workshop with or without support depending on the activity and group size.
​
You will be part of a team of like-minded creatives who run the day-to-day art activities for between ten and twenty artists with learning disabilities, autism or both. The role involves running creative workshops and working with the Senior Workshop Leader to develop the activity schedule around our other commitments.
​
An important part of the role is supporting our artists to fulfil their dreams and aspirations and supporting the creation of opportunities for their work to be exhibited. This role allows for creative and practical development, with access to lots of art materials and professional equipment and knowledge. With a staff team of 30 creatives working across ArtWorks, we are a hive of buzzing activity day in and day out. As a creative arts organisation, we are limited only by our imaginations and take on a wide range of projects, from mural work to film shoots, and fashion shows to art competitions.
​
We will provide you with care and comprehensive first-aid training, so you can understand autism and learning disabilities and confidently support our artists.
​
This position requires you to support the Senior Creative Arts Workshop Leader with completing registers and reporting to ensure safety is maintained in our centres and during events and our artists are supported in a person-centred way. You will report directly to the Senior Creative Arts Workshop Leader with further support from the Care Manager and Creative Arts Co-ordinator.
