The opportunity

The purpose of this new role is to help us develop, expand and realise these local engagement opportunities, whilst also benefitting the teaching and research programmes of Central Saint Martins.  To do this you will work closely (as part of our Creative Producer team) with key stakeholders at Central Saint Martins and the many local groups, organisations, agencies and companies engaged in social, environmental, cultural and charitable activity and support in King’s Cross and London.  This work will include developing relationships, partnerships and collaborations, leading to research, events, workshops and other activities in and around CSM, and in/with the wider community.

This Creative Producer (Local Engagement) role will involve managing small-scale project funding, consultation and desk research, written work, presentations and administration, all to ensure our local engagement work develops and thrives for the long term.  The post will be a key role for the college’s ongoing CSM Public agenda and activity.

We are looking for someone with an in-depth knowledge, interest and experience in UK and international community arts and socially-engaged practice and theory (preferably in an arts, design and performance context).  The post-holder should also have knowledge of, and an interest in, design, media, the arts, performance and the creative and cultural sectors; in London, nationally and internationally.  Moreover, the successful candidate must have knowledge of other arts and design higher education institutions and galleries, with a relevant qualification, ideally in the arts (either visual or performance-based).  Knowledge of arts and community project management, curation, marketing and promotion is also essential.  The post-holder must be adept at working in, and writing for, print and digital channels, in order to promote and publicise arts and community-related projects and programmes.

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 contact the CSM Staffing Team via email jobenquiries@csm.arts.ac.uk or telephone 0207 514 7885.

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 achievements of its graduates and alumni, 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 community, 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. 

At King’s Cross, CSM also sits at the heart of a diverse, multi-cultural community of local residents, community groups, social, educational and charitable organisations.  The college is absolutely committed to local and community engagement and collaboration, through active and real partnerships with our students, staff and researcher community.  We are fully committed to opening our building, both physically and intellectually, to our community stakeholders, partners and audiences.
