Job Description (JD): Cultural Development Manager, Rushmoor

Are you passionate about the difference arts and culture can make in communities?

As a Cultural Development Manager you will play a leading role in growing arts and cultural engagement and provision in Rushmoor, as well as supporting wider engagement across Hampshire as a whole. You will work closely with the Senior Cultural Development Manager to support individual artists and grass-roots arts organisations, taking a leading role in making connections and nurturing new ideas and opportunities. You will additionally support delivery against the NPO strategy holistically across Hampshire.

A bit about you

Your time working in the cultural sector will have given you first-hand experience of how to harness arts and heritage to make a difference in communities. You will be able to draw lessons from what has and hasn’t worked in the past and apply it to a new context in Rushmoor.

Over the course of your career to date, you will have learned how to connect with people, making it easier for you build support from different stakeholders as you are driving forward change. You’ll be familiar with the challenges and rewards of co-creation, partnership and consultation, and will be sensitive to the dynamics of those groups you are working with.

You will be confident charting a course to achieve defined targets and outcomes and will know how to rally a group in pursuit of a common goal. The prospect of working on a range of different projects at one time will energise you, and you will be comfortable developing your workplan and prioritising your approach.

What it’s like to work for us

At Hampshire Cultural Trust we have a vision to create inspirational culture experiences that enrich and transform lives. We manage and support 23 attractions across Hampshire and deliver county-wide outreach programmes that bring great culture to local communities.

We recognise that people from different backgrounds and experiences can enhance the way we perform and work. We aim to be inclusive, valuing, and respectful of diversity, developing the ability to recruit and retain a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve and seek to engage.
