We’re looking for someone with experience managing arts or cultural programmes, excellent project management skills, and a passion for contemporary visual arts and artist-led practice.

The Programme Manager will work closely with the Director, Studio Manager, Marketing Manager and Premises Manager to deliver Paradise Works’ artistic programme and organisational objectives.

The role involves regular collaboration with Paradise Works studio artists, freelance artists, curators, creative practitioners, funders, local communities and partner organisations to develop, deliver and evaluate a high-quality programme of activity.

This is a freelance, fixed-term contract running until February 2026. The role is offered on the basis of 48 days (7 hour days) with a fee of £175 per day (£8,400).
