We are seeking a Freelance Consultant to lead the strategic thinking and inform the development of new creative careers initiatives. The Royal Albert Hall Engagement team has a long history of running creative careers programmes, including Careers Insight Days, Event Management workshops, in-depth participatory schemes such as Young Producers and bespoke sessions for SEND schools. You will be building on this rich history, developing projects that sit within a cohesive programme of opportunities, with a clear pathway for young people to follow through. Key to the success of these initiatives will be collaboration with local authorities, grassroots and community organisations who can provide insight into issues facing young people in our local communities, referral pathways and important wrap-around pastoral support. These initiatives should be developed with young people facing health inequalities and from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the arts in mind (such as those who are NEET, from low-income families, care experienced young people and young people with physical and learning disabilities). Fee: A maximum of £10,000 (based on the requirements of the proposed and agreed working process). Approx. 1 day a week across 5 month period. Demonstrable background in arts strategy. Conduct research on existing comparable models of creative careers delivery, including expected and actual outcomes. To apply for this role, please send your CV and a short proposal outlining how you would approach the brief, including your methodology, key considerations and any early thoughts on scope, to [email protected] by 3rd July at 5pm.Job Summary
