Job Summary
Job Description
The practice:
A Creative Director, artist, coach & public speaker based in Nottingham. With over 16 years experience making internationally touring performance work; a practice rooted in social and climate justice that spans multiple concurrent projects and champions those with identities that face systemic barriers; a growing coaching & mentoring offer for underrepresented creatives.
The practice works in a neuro-affirming way as a core way of being, and should be evident in how you communicate, prioritise & support the work.
The role:
Providing high-level access support that enables the Creative to carry out their work, combining cognitive & executive functioning support to help manage the coordination of a complex, multi-strand creative business.
By holding administrative, logistical & organisational infrastructure, the role creates the conditions in which the Creative is able to focus, think and produce creative work. Without this support, that work would not be possible.
Day to day, this includes supporting with inbox & diary management, travel & logistics coordination, professional correspondence and copy, relationship management, financial administration, document creation and management, social media scheduling, website maintenance, and maintaining the business's administrative systems. This reduces cognitive load, supports prioritisation and ensures continuity.
There is also an advocacy dimension; this person represents the Creative's interests and protects their time and energy with confidence and care.
The role requires clear prioritisation at all times and a strong ability to multi-task. Access needs and protecting the Creative's capacity always come first. The right candidate understands that their primary function is to enable the Creative's ability to work, and manages their workload accordingly.
