About the employer
People United ( PU ) is asocially engaged arts organisation based in Canterbury. Working closely with social care organisations, artists and participant collaborators, we ‘ create futures with care’ holding space for communities to be creative, keep going and do things differently in the context of austerity, economic/social disparity and increasingly polarised views. We prioritise support for those working in social care environments, addressing burnout created by increasing pressure and lack of resource.
Why art? We know that creativity involves both divergent thinking (enabling people to come up with many possible ideas and solutions) and convergent thinking (finding the single best solution to aproblem). Using art and creativity enables people to both be present and reflect, activating and imagining ideas in aspace which is free from prescribed outcomes. For us it’s as much about the process as afinished product; our creative practice results in positive social outcomes for organisations, individuals and groups.
Using care centred practice we encourage creativity to flourish in an environment where we care for ourselves, each other, and the world around us. We focus on care centred practice with everyone we work with; always in deep partnerships across sectors, shining alight on Radical Care wherever it appears, from food kitchens to immigration services. Working in partnership with these services allows us to make deeper connections with people who experience the most disadvantage.
We are alearning organisation, continually questioning, and sharing our learning within and outside the sector. Our practice is informed by the principals of Radical Care which challenges systemic inequality and advocates for change. We provide rigorous evidence for our work through partnerships with research institutes and individuals.
