Arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms seeks a creative, dedicated content producer for an exciting digital art programme!

Diversity and inclusion are central to our work and we particularly welcome applications from candidates from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. 

6-month fixed term contract, 4 or 5 days a week - £24K + 5.6 weeks leave + pension (prorata)

Newly located offices and workshop space in Bethnal Green

The deadline for applications is 10am on Monday 14th December

There will be a first round telephone interview followed by an final round interview in person or on zoom - interviews will take place in December

OUR ROOM

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic and in order to bring the joy of art directly to mental health patients during this period of lockdown and social restriction, Hospital Rooms developed an innovative digital programme. Led by internationally acclaimed artists, The Digital Art School, which we established in March 2020, live streams weekly art workshops to mental health hospitals.  The workshops are entirely free and open to those using mental health services as well as to the wider public.

We have run workshops with some of the country’s leading arts educators from the Slade, RCA, Royal Academy and Goldsmiths and engagement has been significant. The Digital Art School’s wide reaching impact has been recognised by Arts Council England, who has supplied it with additional funding, which facilitates this dedicated role.

In partnership with internationally acclaimed artists, workshops are led remotely from their studios via live stream.  They can also be viewed once the Workshop has finished via our YouTube channel.

This role consists of, but is not limited to, coordinating the entire programme, which includes: 

- Liaising with the artist and managing schedules

- Designing and posting course information

- Promoting the courses via social media (Twitter and Instagram) and increasing engagement on our channels

- Hosting live Zoom sessions, posting live streams to our YouTube channel

- Sometimes the role will require coordinating the filming of on-demand sessions (so some knowledge of film making would be useful)

- Keeping in contact with mental health units to make sure the programme is accessible to all is key.

- Working with the rest of the team on project and general social media campaigns, newsletters, and publicity (a key part of the role)

- Help with day-to-day running and administration of the charity.

This role is initially a six-month fixed-term contract based on the funding we have obtained from the Arts Council.  However, with the successful demonstration of this role, there is a potential to extend this contract term.

YOUR ROOM

The most important quality this role requires is a positive attitude.  All of Hospital Rooms’ work is based on the fundamentals established by our founders.  It’s crucial that the same level of care, attention and quality is maintained by the rest of th team. Importantly, however, is your own style and creativity as a contributor. This has been the basis of the success and sustainability of Hospital Rooms to date.

We actively encourage applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and those who are currently under represented in the visual arts. We recognise the importance of doing more to combat structural inequalities. Inclusion is central to our work and how we interact with service users and staff in mental health units.

You will need a good knowledge and understanding of arts, culture and creative sectors as well as of the current media landscape and emerging digital platforms. We anticipate that you’ll have a keen digital interest and demonstrable knowledge of running successful social media campaigns.  To do this requires strong organisational skills, so we will be eager to find out more about your methods in managing campaigns and how you have measured their success.  It will really help if you’ve done this on multiple platforms including Instagram, YouTube and Twitter before.

You will have a curiosity for people.  That doesn’t mean that you must necessarily be the most confident communicator or presenter. Hospital Rooms strives to provide a safe space in which to foster, develop and grow your skillsets.

You will need to be sensitive to the sometimes complex needs of our beneficiaries and the requirements of the units.

Lastly and most importantly is an empathetic nature and a passion for our purpose and the impact that art can have on mental health.

HOSPITAL ROOMS

Our vision is for all people in mental health wards and through digitally curated programmes have the freedom to experience extraordinary artworks. We believe in the power of art to provide joy and dignity and to stimulate and heal.
