KIND Community Producer

Job Summary

Rosehill Arts Trust is looking for a new Community producer to lead the next stage of the KIND project. KIND uses creativity to unite communities, support well-being, and help reduce isolation in Whitehaven and surrounding areas.

Job Description

What will the role be doing?

The producer will initiate, lead, and deliver new and existing projects that blend aspects of creative well-being, social prescribing, social inclusion, and community collaboration by, for, and with the people of West Cumbria.

How will the role support the delivery of the KIND project?

The producer will work collaboratively with the team to provide equitable spaces which foster togetherness and expressiveness. Rosehill recognises its role in creating spaces where communities can be together and feel nourished. We believe that artists are crucial to making these intergenerational environments and that democratic art-making practices prioritising communities’ freedom, autonomy, and imaginations, experienced in community with each other, can develop experiences rich in creativity, learning and connection.

To deliver this, the producer will.

• Provide creative spaces that are collaborative, connected and made by, with and for the community.
• Create a consistent welcoming space for participants to participate in creative opportunities that unite people.
• Support, involve, and enable communities to collaborate with us and participate in creative activities such as workshops, events, festivals, and drop-in sessions, bringing communities together and sharing ideas.
• Remove language, learning, or social barriers which prevent people from working together.
• Provide spaces and workshops that enable people to try new things, stretch their imaginations, and stimulate cross-cultural/community dialogue.
