We are seeking a Creative Producer to work with communities and partners to build pride, opportunity and connection across the town.
IP-Switched is a new Arts Council England funded programme designed to increase participation in arts and culture across Ipswich, particularly among communities least likely to engage.
You will lead on the day-to-day delivery of the programme, establishing a cohort of hyper local community champions who will lead activity across Ipswich. You will grow a team of Area Producers to co‑create activity, support community forums and consultations. You will coordinate creative activities which have been flagged as a priority by our steering groups and local residents. A core part of the role is ensuring that feedback and rigorous evaluation sit at the heart of the programme’s practice – driving ongoing engagement and long‑term positive cultural outcomes.
You will demonstrate proven experience of your passion for working with people, influencing change and contributing to a wider vision for the town, with a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
* Proven experience in an arts, culture or community organisations.
* Experience of working with underserved or marginalised communities.
* Excellent communication and partnership‑building skills.
* Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
* Knowledge of Ipswich’s cultural landscape.
We’d love applications from people of all backgrounds, especially from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as D/deaf and disabled people, neurodivergent people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those from lower socio‑economic backgrounds. We are up for exploring support and development needs and will make reasonable adjustments to enable applicants to participate in the selection process, and for the successful applicant to carry out their role.
If you need us to make any adjustments to allow you to fully participate, would like an informal and confidential discussion about the position, or if you would like the candidate pack in a different format, please contact Lucy Parker by emailing lparker@wolseytheatre.co.uk.
