Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Arts and Heritage team, in the Property department.
We are looking for applicants who have an interest in arts, heritage and health, are motivated, have good communication skills and have the ability to work on their own and as part of a team. This is an 18-month fixed term contract whereby you will be working towards an apprenticeship qualification in Cultural Heritage (L3 Diploma in Cultural Participation).
This is a supportive role and will enable applicants to gain practical experience of office work and arts programming in a healthcare setting. Apprentices are assigned a mentor from within the Trust.
We are committed to equality and diversity within our workforce and in all opportunities. Our recruitment process is open to all but we would particularly like to encourage applications from people of Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as LGBTQ+, those from lower socio-economic backgrounds and those who identify as disabled, as these groups are currently underrepresented in our teams and the cultural sector more widely.

• Providing admin support to the Arts and Heritage team, in particular around the marketing and promotion of art activities for staff and patients

• Exhibition, events and project support
