About Spectra
We are a fierce and joyful, learning disability centred, multi-arts organisation.
Founded on the idea of radical inclusion, we have developed a reputation for aesthetically driven, gently provocative performances, installations and workshops that engage all of our audiences’ senses.
Our mission is to lift learning disabled people’s capacity to influence change in their own lives and the world around them. We believe that our world and our communities are improved when everybody has the opportunity to contribute.
Our methods of working are co-creative and collaborative – delivering impactful projects that showcase the skills and creativity of neurodivergent and learning disabled artists. Everything we do is shaped by the people we work with.
Why are we looking for a Policy Artist?
– To help create a more stimulating version of our new Company Culture Guide.
– To have a digital format that is more accessible and meaningful to everyone at Spectra.
– To bring fresh skills and capacity to the company.
What is Spectra’s Steering Group?
Our Steering Group is made up of learning disabled and neurodivergent performers, artists and facilitators who have a history of working with Spectra, so they have a really good understanding of who we are and what we do. They meet at least once a quarter to feed into operational and strategic decision-making. They have also begun to work more closely with our Board.
Job Requirements
What do we want you to create?
Over the last few months, Spectra’s Steering Group has been co-creating a Company Culture Guide, which now exists as a written document, but we also want to create a digital version of this Guide in a more engaging format.
The Steering Group has come up with some initial ideas: a film, a comic strip, something involving animation, or some combination of the three. However, we are very open to something we haven’t thought of, as long as it is digital and there are interactive elements to engage the audience. It may be useful to think about how people with varying levels of interest can engage at different levels of depth – e.g. by using dropdowns or click-throughs to expand on key points.
We want the Policy Artist to create a resource that is accessible to a variety of audiences, including learning disabled people, with considerations for audio description, captions and screen readers.
