1.5 days (10.5 hours) per week

plus a pension contribution (4% employer contribution)
The new Artistic Director will be a key member of the Fairbeats leadership team with overall responsibility for defining and overseeing Fairbeats’ creative aspirations based on the hopes, ideas and experiences of Fairbeats children, young people and families. The role will involve working closely and collaboratively with the CEO, other Directors, Coordinator and Trustees to deliver and develop the programme.This role description sets out our aspirations for the role, and highlights the importance of it being another step of fostering equity across our work.
In 2023, we restructured the Fairbeats core team in support of the next phase of working towards our vision, and set bolder aims for how we live our values and ethical principles - particularly youth voice, decolonisation and being led by people with lived experience relevant to our programmes. After 13 years of leading Fairbeats’ creative vision and direction, Co-founder and Artistic Director Catherine Carter took on a new role leading our research and development work and Co-founder Jennifer Raven became CEO. As a result we have re-imagined the Artistic Director role. We are also re-working our strategic plan, which will go hand-in-hand with a framework for ethical practice and decolonisation, we’ve doubled the size of our Board of Trustees, and will be recruiting two new Co-Chairs.
We welcome questions about the role and if you would like to have a discussion with us prior to submitting an application, please contact Jennifer Raven (CEO) on jenn@fairbeats.co.uk
Closing date: Monday 29th April, 5pm
