Description

Job Summary

IP Switched is a new programme designed to increase participation in arts and culture across Ipswich, particularly among communities least likely to engage. We are seeking a Creative Producer to work with communities and partners to build pride, opportunity and connection across the town.

Job Description

You will lead on the day-to-day delivery of the programme, establishing a cohort of hyper local community champions who will lead activity across Ipswich. You will grow a team of Area Producers to co-create activity, support community forums and consultations. You will coordinate creative activities which have been flagged as a priority by our steering groups and local residents. A core part of the role is ensuring that feedback and rigorous evaluation sit at the heart of the programme's practice - driving ongoing engagement and long-term positive cultural outcomes.

You will demonstrate proven experience of your passion for working with people, influencing change and contributing to a wider vision for the town, with a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Essential qualities include:

Proven experience in an arts, culture or community organisations.
Experience of working with underserved or marginalised communities.
Excellent communication and partnership building skills.
Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
Knowledge of Ipswich's cultural landscape.

We'd love applications from people of all backgrounds, especially from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as D/deaf and disabled people, neurodivergent people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We are up for exploring support and development needs and will make reasonable adjustments to enable applicants to participate in the selection process, and for the successful applicant to carry out their role.

Part time, fixed term until March 2029 (with potential extension), working 30 hours per week, typically Monday- Friday.

The deadline for applications is 9am, Monday 6th July 2026.

Interviews will be held on Monday 20th July and Tuesday 21st July 2026 in person at the New Wolsey Theatre.

We will reimburse reasonable travel expenses for candidates to attend an interview.
