We collaborate to enable practical action for transformational change by working with diverse cultural organisations, including those in visual arts, museums, galleries, and theatre. Our Creative Green team partners with various organisations such as the British Film Institute, British Council Americas, Green Libraries Partnership, Tomas Saraceno Studio, Goethe Institute, Independent Cinema Office, Arts Council Ireland, and numerous European funding programmes. We also work with cultural services both in the UK and internationally across sectors including performance and music.

Additional strands include our Board Environmental Champions program, which helps trustees and board members of National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) and Investment Principles Support Organisations (IPSOs) incorporate environmental responsibility into governance, supported by a champions guide and peer networking sessions. The Leading Resilience programme, an ongoing pilot and mentoring initiative, fosters leadership within the portfolio and sector by enhancing understanding and skills for adapting to climate impacts.

A note on AI

While we understand that some people may use AI tools for accessibility (and recognise and support that many assistive technologies may use elements of AI), we ask candidates to consider what tools are most appropriate during the application process. For example, we recognise the value for many people of machine learning language tools like Grammarly. On the other hand we would discourage the use of generative AI tools in writing your application, as we'd like to understand your personal interest in working for Julie's Bicycle, and be able to understand your non-AI-assisted communication skills just as they are. We also recognise that for many of the people and creative communities we work with, the rise of generative AI poses a threat to their livelihoods, while the environmental impacts of AI are only set to grow: this means we also have a responsibility as Julie's Bicycle to consider where and when (and if) we use AI in our work. 

Thank you for your interest in working at Julie’s Bicycle.
