Access Officer

Phoenix is Leicester’s independent cinema and art centre located in the heart of the city’s Cultural Quarter. A registered charity for over 35 years, Phoenix is the city’s home for film, moving image, and digital storytelling.

Phoenix plays a key role in the cultural and creative landscape of Leicester, one of the UK’s most diverse and dynamic cities. As an accessible venue open to all, we curate unique cultural and creative experiences across film and art, bringing local, national and international work to our cinema screens and gallery. Through our programme we offer opportunities for communities to come together, explore and share stories and ideas; improve our understanding of the world and re-imagine the future; and inspire and nurture creativity.

Our award-winning capital expansion has created new opportunities for us across our cultural programme, and since its completion in 2023 we have expanded our offer significantly.

We are looking to recruit a part-time Access Officer who will play a vital role in strengthening Phoenix’s leadership in cultural accessibility, ensuring that disabled audiences and people with access requirements are able to engage fully with Phoenix’s programme, venue and wider offer. Working as part of the Cinema Programme team, the postholder will lead the development, delivery and promotion of Phoenix’s Access programme.

We are working hard to make sure that Phoenix is an inclusive and welcoming place for everyone – a place that is representative of the communities we serve, that celebrates diversity and provides equality of opportunity. We particularly welcome applications from Global Majority candidates, candidates with disabilities, and female candidates.
