We develop programmes and activities that support individuals and communities to engage with creative reading and writing both professionally and for pleasure. We help good writing find local, regional, national, and international audiences.

New Writing North’s annual programme includes the management of major international literary prizes and awards; open-access and targeted talent development programmes; the production of festivals and events; international writing and translation projects; our young writers’ programmes; community-based programmes; writing for wellbeing activities, and the commissioning of new writing. 

In autumn 2022 we are launching a new Writing and Publishing Skills Hub and we are now recruiting a team of three staff to deliver this programme.

The Programme Manager (Skills & Engagement) will manage the marketing and delivery of a new creative skills offer for New Writing North. Reporting to the Senior Programme Manager (Skills & Engagement) and working with the Programme Assistant (Skills & Engagement), the Programme Manager (Skills & Engagement) will ensure a high quality creative skills programme is delivered in collaboration with partners, supporting strategies for income generation and audience development across the programme. The postholder will manage partnerships with publishers, FE/HE providers, and cultural sector partners and will support the achievement of NWN’s strategy.

The skills programme has been designed to include a wide range of activities including training and learning, artist investment and development, small business support for practitioners and the development of online and in-person writing courses. Led by the Senior Manager, we expect that the postholder will contribute to further shaping and developing the programmes and to developing new resources and partnerships to advance work in this area. The work will be delivered across the North of Tyne area (Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside). 

The new skills team is supported by the North of Tyne Combined Authority’s Skills for Growth Fund.

We are committed to developing and retaining a workforce that is representative of the diverse communities that we serve. We encourage people from all sections of our community to apply for jobs with us. We particularly welcome Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, disabled, and LGBTQI applicants and those from lower socio-economic and working-class backgrounds.

Job Summary

We’re seeking someone to lead on an exciting new strand of work exploring viewpoint diversity, reconciliation as an antidote to polarisation, and the cultivation of moral courage as a core virtue in our time. 

This role would involve whole life-cycle project management of this new programme. Work will include research on the topic, event design, development and delivery, and the creation of inspiring and engaging communications. You will also play a leading role in the centre’s communications more broadly. 

Basics:

Ideally 5 days a week at £34 - 36k, depending on experience, though we would be open to 4 days if preferred, for the right candidate.

Closing date: September 23, 2022. We will be holding interviews on September 26 and 30th. We may also interview applicants on a rolling basis as applications come in - so don’t delay in submitting.

The successful candidate will work closely with the co- director and other programme staff, be part of a vibrant and inspiring team, and also share in the very active  and varied life of the centre.

Based at St Ethelburga’s Centre, near Liverpool Street, London. We support flexible working, and are happy for you to combine office and home working. 

About St Ethelburga’s:

Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993, resurrected as a centre for reconciliation and peace in 2003, St Ethelburga’s is a symbol of hope from the ashes.

We equip and inspire people to become peacemakers in their own contexts. We believe there can be no peace on Earth until we realise peace with Earth. We lead workshops and deliver training in: conflict coaching, community reconciliation, radical resilience, refugee integration, spiritual ecology, and viewpoint diversity.

About the project:

Our faith and moral courage project involves the creation of a series of dialogue events (focalising viewpoint diversity conversations on topics of public interest and deep significance in our time), trainings (in the skills and competencies of depolarising conversations, reconciliation, and growing inner capacity for moral courage), and a 2 -day conference. Alongside this we plan to create high-quality comms outputs, including podcasts, social media campaigns, training manuals, and potentially a white paper. We’re also keen to apply our communities-of-practice model (which we’ve used in other programmes that we’ve run) to grow a network of people who are pro-actively engaged with the themes of the project. 

Main responsibilities:

• Contributing to the design, creation and delivery of events

• Applying creative and strategic thinking to how we can grow a network of people actively engaged with our work and the themes of this programme

• Communication and liaison with other stakeholders in this work

• Research on relevant topics

• Working with others in the project team on the design and delivery of relevant training workshops

• Occasional public speaking at events online or in person

• Overseeing a project coordinator 

• Liaising with freelance media/ content providers as needed

• Sourcing additional sponsors for the conference

• Responsibility for comms on this and some other project areas at St Ethelburga’s, including contributing to blogs, training manuals, newsletters and social media, as well as marketing and outreach
