Manchester, United Kingdom Prospectus Remote Work Freelance Full time

The Arts Council is the national development agency for creativity and culture. It has set out its strategic vision called “Lets Create”, that by 2030, they want England to be a country in which the creativity of each of us is valued and given the chance to flourish and where everyone of us has access to a remarkable range of high quality, cultural experiences. They invest public money from Government and the National Lottery to help support the Arts & Culture sectors and deliver on this vision.

In 2022, the Arts Council’s National Council commissioned Nous Group to conduct an independent Inclusion Review ( Inclusion Review ) in order to understand the steps they need to take to become an organisation where everyone feels they truly belong. Alongside this, the Arts Council has also embarked on a programme of wider transformation, setting out various change and improvement programmes to ensure the body is fit for the future.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with the Arts Council to recruit a Senior Communications Officer (Inclusion & Change) to join its team based in Manchester.

The role:

Reporting to the Director of Communication, this role will work closely with the immediate team and effectively across the business and will be responsible for devising and executing impactful internal communication and behaviour change campaigns, in support of key change and inclusion programmes at the Arts Council.

Situated in the Advocacy and Communication team, this new role will collaborate closely with two other groups of internal stakeholders made up of colleagues from across the organisation. One group leads on Transformation programmes for the Arts Council – ensuring they are developing as an organisation fit for the future, from seizing digital opportunities to driving efficiencies; the other group leads on equality, diversity and inclusion work, specifically around putting the recommendations of the recent Inclusion Review. This role will provide pivotal support for the Arts Council as they continue to evolve as an organisation, by shaping insight-driven audience engagement, managing internally focussed messaging around change programmes, convening staff networks and forums, liaising with various internal stakeholders and proactively utilising the Intranet to galvanize and foster deeper understanding of inclusion and learning across staff teams.

The person:

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of change management and internal communication project delivery, ideally with a large national charity or indeed in a local authority, central government, NHS Trust or Higher Education environment. This person will have led on initiatives, possibly EDI related, but most importantly transformation and change, where internal messaging, mobilising forums and staff engagement has been central to success.

An effective communicator, both verbally and in writing, this person will be confident and proactive with excellent attention to detail and will be highly organised. A natural problem solver, this person will also be confident in the use of all MS Office packages, creative design products and database management.

This is a superb opportunity for someone with the necessary experience, to be part of facilitating real and lasting change in this high profile and established national organisation.
The role is offered on a 12 month fixed term contract with flexible hybrid working (1 or 2 days in the office – remainder from home) based at the offices in Central Manchester.

Equality Diversity and Inclusion:

Arts Council are committed to building an inclusive employer and workplace and recruiting a workforce that is as diverse as the communities we serve. However, you identify, and whatever background you bring with you, Arts Council welcomes you to apply for a role.  

If there are any adjustments that would help support you in your application, please do let us know when you apply. If you are disabled Evenbreak are able to provide support with your application, for further information please visit their website.  
Disabled, D/deaf and/or neurodivergent people and those from Black, Asian and Ethnically Diverse backgrounds are underrepresented in the Arts Council’s workforce so we particularly encourage applications from people in these groups.
