Kala Sangam, Bradford’s Intercultural Arts Centre, is looking for an outstanding candidate to join its Senior Management Team. Heading up our small Education & Outreach department, you will have a strong track record for engagement with diverse communities and a passion for using creativity to make a difference to people’s lives. This exciting new role will play a central role in planning Kala Sangam’s delivery for UK City of Culture in 2025.

You will have a proven track record in project management, excellent organisation and communications skills, and be skilled at building relationships at all levels – with community organisations, volunteers, local authorities, project partners, senior stakeholders, collaborators and supporters. Kala Sangam is an equal opportunities employer. For this position, we would be particularly interested in receiving applications from people of South Asian heritage and/or women. This post will involve flexible working patterns and may include evenings and weekend working. The post may require local, regional, and occasional national travel. If you have any questions about this role please email Alex Croft: alex@kalasangam.org Deadline: 24 November https://www.kalasangam.org/work-with-us/
