Bricks is a Bristol based social enterprise and charity that works with local communities and creative communities to programme collaborative activities and secure the spaces our communities need to thrive in the long term. We formed in 2019 as a charity, and took on the lease of St Anne’s House in 2021. __ Main purpose of the job: Head of Programme is a new role for Bricks. The core of the role is to lead in the strategic planning and delivery of high quality, community-responsive programmes of activity that support the delivery of Bricks’ mission. The Head of Programme will lead the programming and communications team on the projects that Bricks programmes directly, including Public Art and St Anne’s House, while impacts we deliver through space hire are delivered via our operations team. Building on work done to date, you will agree on a creative direction for these programmes in partnership with the CEO, team and board, then lead on its delivery, finding a balance between projects that have a longer lead in along with more responsive programming. You will bring a consistency of approach, setting a clear path for our creative and social impact work, and line management of our programming team. This is an exciting time to join Bricks; now over two years in to our time at St Anne’s House and three years in to Public Art, we can continue to refine our processes, raise artistic quality, plan longer in to the future and, crucially, deliver on our remit to bring high quality creative projects to the heart of communities, led by the ambition of local people. We have delivered a strong community-responsive programme over the last three years, and now want to build on our contemporary art remit, taking on larger more ambitious projects, giving artists space to create, working with communities in more long-form ways, building on our cross artform/ cross sector collaborative working and supporting the creation of new creative spaces in the West of England.
