Engage Scotland Coordinator
Closing date 31 October 2022
Engage, the UK’s leading network for visual arts engagement and participation wish to appoint an Engage Scotland Coordinator. The post holder will lead a responsive programme supporting the visual arts engagement and participation workforce.
Engage Scotland represents Engage members based throughout Scotland, responding to their training, networking and advocacy needs. This contributes to Engage’s UK-wide programmes through a sector-led Scottish focus. More details about Engage Scotland are available here.
This is an exciting time to join Engage. In 2021 we refocused the organisation’s work on five key areas:
- Training the workforce
- Diversifying the workforce
- Increasing the profile and visibility of members’ practices
- Providing opportunities for members to debate and shape practice, and
- Leading sector advocacy.
The Engage Scotland Coordinator works closely with the Scotland Development Group supporting members across these areas through training, networking, advocacy, awards, participation in Engage UK-wide initiatives and focused work that addresses inequalities in the visual arts in Scotland with specific regard to issues of race and disability.
We are delighted to receive continued support from Creative Scotland to deliver the Engage Scotland programme in 2022/23.
The Engage Scotland Coordinator works within the UK-wide Engage team and is managed by the Engage Director.
