The role involves working alongside a variety of academic and professional colleagues within CSM, alongside a range of external stakeholders and partners.

In particular, this role will help manage CSM’s involvement in the outdoor studio space and workshop MAKE. You will lead on the project management of a range of key local engagement initiatives.

About you

We are looking for someone with a proven knowledge and track record in one of the following: placemaking, social design, community-engaged arts and/or socially engaged practice and theory. You will have an interest in design, media, the arts, performance and the broader creative and cultural sectors.

Along with specialist knowledge, we are looking for someone with a proven track record of project management, and the ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously. You will have experience of working with community and voluntary sector stakeholders, along with the wider public through arts education and socially engaged practice.

Finally, you will have experience of communicating and publicising projects, as well as leading and contributing to the development of funding bids and proposals. You will have a high standard of written English, including formal proposal writing and presentations.

In return, University of the Arts London offers generous leave, an attractive pension and a commitment to your continuing personal development and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity and diversity. If you have any queries about this role please email the CSM Staffing Team on: jobenquiries@csm.arts.ac.uk.

What we offer

 

We are UAL

Central Saint Martins is a world-leading centre for arts and design education. Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally. The nine programmes at CSM explore the boundaries of their discipline. Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject, so emerging work is at the forefront of its area. CSM sits at the heart of London’s creative scene, and of one of Europe’s most dynamic new culture and innovation quarters at King’s Cross, making the college increasingly important to London’s cultural life, and indicative of our general desire to open up CSM to as broad an audience as possible.
