Participation Manager

Shape an inspiring craft participation programme.

At New Brewery Arts, we believe creativity has the power to change lives. Every year thousands of people learn new skills, discover confidence and become part of our creative community through our programme of courses and workshops. We're looking for a Participation Manager who can lead that programme into its next chapter, developing exciting new opportunities, building great relationships with tutors, using data and audience insight to drive commercial success, and ensuring every participant has an outstanding experience. You'll be equally comfortable analysing booking trends, planning the next season's programme and supporting your team to deliver it brilliantly.

We're a small, ambitious charity, so this is a hands-on leadership role. You'll be part of our Senior Management Team, working closely with the CEO and colleagues across the organisation to make great ideas happen. We don't believe in silos, everyone pitches in when needed, whether that's welcoming visitors, supporting events or helping colleagues deliver our charitable work. If you're proactive, commercially aware, organised and passionate about the value of creativity, we'd love to hear from you.
