2 weeks ago

Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds Playhouse Full time

Are you a freelance artist or a creative support worker? Would you be interested in working on engagement projects as part of Playhouse Connect at Leeds Playhouse. We are pleased to announce that we are currently looking for freelance artists, facilitators and casual support workers for paid work in our Playhouse Connect team.

We are holding a **Freelance Artist & Support Worker Call Out Event **on the evening of 11 April (4pm-7pm) and during the day 13 April (12pm-4pm).

**Playhouse Connect** is the name of our engagement and artist development work at Leeds Playhouse. We work with a diverse range of communities across the city of Leeds including young people, adults with learning disabilities, refugees and people seeking asylum, and older people, including those living with dementia.

**What projects can I get involved with?**

Learning & Skills:

- Youth Theatre: weekly sessions for young people aged 8 - 21 & Holiday activity.
- Partner Schools: term time school workshops and after school clubs in Leeds and the surrounding areas.
- Hearts: weekly drop-in for young people seeking asylum and refugees aged 15-25.
- Young Carers: monthly sessions to build skills and confidence through the arts for rest from daily responsibilities as a young carer.

Creative Communities:

- Buzz: creative workshops and courses for people with learning disabilities including BOC, interaction days and relaxed performances.
- Heydays: the largest and longest-running arts programme for older people in UK theatre.
- Our Time: a theatre and performance making company for people living with dementia.
- Asmarina Voices and Playing Me: our choir and creative play sessions for women seeking asylum/refugee status and their children.
- Further partnership projects.

**IS THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR ME?**

**We are looking for two different types of workers to get involved in our projects**:
1) **Freelancer artists and facilitators** who have an interest in delivering work that creatively engages with diverse communities. This work would suit artists and facilitators with a track record of delivering and leading creative workshops and projects with diverse communities.

2) **Support workers** that would have an interest in working with us on a casual basis supporting our creative projects. This role would suit people who have some experience of working creatively with diverse communities and are looking for flexible opportunities to develop their skills and experience.

**HOW DO I APPLY?**
- **Freelancers** will be asked to run a short activity on the day and then have a conversation about your current practice with a member of our team.
- **Support Workers** will need to supply a supporting statement on our form, and then take part in creative activities followed by a short interview on the day of the Call Out Event.
- **Both** will also be asked to submit an Inclusion and Diversity Monitoring Form.
- **If you are successful**, you will be invited to paid training on the 17th & 18th April.

**Casual Support Worker**

We are recruiting for compassionate and supportive people to join us in the role of Creative Support Worker across a range of our Playhouse Connect activities.

You will be responsible for supporting participants to experience creative opportunities and holistic person-centred support, using creative arts as a tool to express, develop skills and support positive wellbeing and empowerment.

You will be working in collaboration with artists and other members of the Playhouse Connect team, youth, community and care workers and partnership organisations, under the supervision of a Playhouse Connect manager.

Our Creative Support Workers help ensure our participants can access the support they need, whilst taking part in fun and creative activities that give them a platform to express themselves and be part of a creative community.

Our Casual Support Workers are engaged on a casual basis. For more information, please see the attached job description.

**Freelance Artist**

We are recruiting for self-employed freelance artist facilitators to work across and lead a range of our Playhouse Connect activities.

You will be responsible for leading participants (and support workers) in workshops with a holistic person-centred approach, using creative arts as a tool to express, develop skills and support positive wellbeing and empowerment.

You will be working in collaboration with youth, community, care workers and partnership organisations and have catch-ups with project manager from the Playhouse Connect team.

Our artists devise and deliver fun and creative activities that will give participants a platform to express themselves.

Our artist facilitators are self-employed freelance workers with a portfolio of existing experience and demonstrable practice. We are looking to hear about the way you work and how it may align with our company projects, ethos and values.
