Family Learning – Creative Learning Coordinator

Working closely with the Head of Learning & Impact and Creative Learning Manager, you will develop, plan and facilitate a variety of fun, engaging and inspiring arts-based activities for children and young people. These will span multiple artforms (such as writing, reading, craft, visual art, drama, storytelling, etc.) and will include a range of innovative outputs. These programmes will have creativity and literacy at their heart, and will support children’s communication skills, confidence and enthusiasm to learn.

You will adopt the Grimm & Co pedagogy – using a child-centred approach – to build socio-cultural literacies and support children and young people to make sense of the world around them and find their place within it. Simultaneously, the creative learning provision will build the capacity of those with influence on the child (parents/carers, educators etc.) and coordinators will work to build a whole family and community approach.

All of the Creative Learning Team will work closely with partner organisations and funders, including children’s social care services, family/early childhood settings and formal/alternative education institutions in order to understand and meet the needs of the most marginalised communities to support educational outcomes.
