Job Summary
Job Description
Art Reach is seeking an enthusiastic and organised Creative Producer to support the development, production and delivery of our festivals, year-round programmes and community engagement activities. Based in Leicester with hybrid working, this role offers the opportunity to work with artists, communities, young people and partners to create ambitious cultural experiences that connect people through extraordinary art.
Working closely with the Head of Programme and Engagement, you will play a key role in planning and delivering festivals, outdoor events and participatory programmes from concept through to completion. You will coordinate projects, manage logistics, oversee artist and freelancer contracts, support fundraising initiatives and ensure programmes are delivered safely, efficiently and within budget.
The role also involves developing meaningful engagement opportunities that reflect Leicester's diverse communities, with a particular focus on working alongside Global Majority, sanctuary-seeking, disabled and female artists and participants. You will build relationships with community organisations, local and national partners, and contribute to audience development and participation strategies.
As Creative Producer, you will manage multiple projects simultaneously, preparing project plans, risk assessments, event management documentation and evaluation reports while ensuring compliance with organisational policies and funding requirements. You will contribute to budget management, identify funding opportunities and support the submission of grant applications.
This position suits a collaborative and proactive producer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys balancing creative thinking with practical project delivery. Flexibility is essential, as occasional evening and weekend work will be required, with Time Off in Lieu provided.
The role is offered as a full-time position (37.5 hours per week), with applications for 30 hours (4 days per week)
Job Requirements
We are looking for a creative producer with a minimum of 2 years' experience working in an arts organisation, charity or cultural setting. The successful candidate will have experience delivering festivals, events or participatory arts programmes, ideally within the outdoor arts sector, alongside a strong understanding of the UK cultural landscape. Experience preparing project plans, contracts and risk assessments is essential, as is a commitment to inclusive practice and working with refugee and asylum-seeking communities. You will possess excellent organisational, written and interpersonal communication skills, be able to manage multiple projects and deadlines, work independently and collaboratively, think strategically while solving practical challenges, and demonstrate strong project planning, financial awareness and partnership-building skills. Flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends is also required
Job Responsibilities
The position will support the planning, production and delivery of Art Reach's festivals, events and year-round cultural programmes, working with artists, communities, young people and partners to create engaging and inclusive experiences. The role involves managing participation projects, coordinating event logistics, preparing site plans and risk assessments, liaising with contractors and overseeing artist, freelancer and volunteer arrangements. You will build and maintain strong relationships with organisations and cultural stakeholders, develop project plans, monitor budgets and contribute to grant applications. Responsibilities also include researching artists and programme opportunities, collecting evaluation data, producing reports for funders and ensuring all activities comply with ArtReachs policies. As an ambassador for Art Reach, you will represent the organisation at meetings and networking events while supporting day-to-day project coordination and administration.
