Bedford Creative Arts is seeking to recruit a dynamic and creative marketing professional who is passionate about working with communities and thrives on a challenge.
Supported by our senior management team, you will use a range of marketing tools to communicate the exciting work of the charity. You’ll take responsibility for handling digital content creation for our website, social media channels and newsletters and reporting on their effectiveness, as well as organising print, photography and videography to promote our work.
You’ll be creative at ensuring our communication channels reach the right audiences for a diverse range of projects across different artforms.
We’re looking for someone with drive to develop their career in the arts, not just as a marketing professional but as someone passionate about working for a Bedford charity. We’re looking to meet someone with energy; keen to learn, keen to experiment and keen to help us learn from what you can bring to the team.
We’re looking for someone with experience of marketing in a relevant sector, confident developing and executing marketing campaigns across different channels.
You’ll be efficient at organising your own workload and managing competing priorities. You’ll be a highly effective communicator and a real team player – excited at the prospect of joining a small organisation with a close-knit team of collaborators equally passionate about the people we reach with our work.
We actively encourage people from a variety of backgrounds with different experiences, skills and stories to join us and influence our working practice. We are particularly keen to hear from people from backgrounds that are currently under-represented on our staff team including people from UK minority ethnic backgrounds and candidates who self-identify as disabled, neurodivergent, male, non-binary or trans and/or LGBTQ+.
Bedford Creative Arts is an arts charity that has been producing socially-engaged arts projects for 40 years that explore issues of social justice, challenge the status quo and raise questions that have the potential to influence practice and policy-making. We are a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England delivering an ambitious programme of commissions for, by, and with communities across Bedfordshire.
