Job Summary
Job Description
The Funding and Development Manager plays a key role in supporting the development, expansion, and sustainability of ArtWorks. The role is project-driven, offering support to the Directors and Senior Management Team (Operations Manager and Creative Arts Coordinator) while focusing on securing funding, enhancing existing services and developing new branches of ArtWorks.
You will work as part of the senior management team working closely with the care manager, creative arts coordinator and accounts manager to ensure the smooth running and development of ArtWorks, as well as offering support to the directors regarding the expansion of service and fundraising.
Our artists, their well-being and creativity are at the heart of everything we do at ArtWorks and ensuring systems are in place to provide the highest quality provision for the people we support is paramount. The Funding and Development Manager will support this goal by ensuring each centre continues to develop and grow, as well as through sourcing funding opportunities to further enhance the service we can provide.
This maternity cover position will focus on the continued development of our new centre in Barnsley (based at Barnsley Civic) and research and groundwork for expanding services into Doncaster. There will also be a focus on developing a transport service and young people’s club at ArtWorks Rotherham in Thorpe Hesley. Additionally, the role involves securing funding for planned activities and projects for ArtWorks working with the Creative Arts Coordinator.
We will provide you with care and comprehensive first-aid training, so you can understand autism and learning disabilities and confidently support our team and the people they support. Having a background in care or connections to people with a learning disability and/or who are autistic is beneficial for this position, but not essential.
