Creative Practice Access Support, Freelance Independent Artist

This role exists to provide high-level access support that enables the Creative to carry out their creative work. It sits at the heart of the practice, combining cognitive and executive functioning support to help manage the coordination of a complex, multi-strand creative business.

The operational elements of the role are not separate from access support; they are the means by which access is delivered. By holding administrative, logistical, and organisational infrastructure, the role creates the conditions in which the Creative is able to focus, think, and produce creative work. Without this support, that work would not be possible.

Day to day, this includes supporting with inbox and diary management, travel and logistics coordination, professional correspondence and copy, relationship management, financial administration, document creation and management, social media scheduling, website maintenance, and maintaining the business's administrative systems. This reduces cognitive load, supports prioritisation, and ensures continuity.

There is also an advocacy dimension; this person represents the Creative's interests and protects their time and energy with confidence and care.

The role requires clear prioritisation at all times, and a strong ability to multi-task. Access needs and protecting the Creative's capacity always come first. The right person understands that their primary function is to enable the Creative's ability to work, and manages their workload accordingly.
