• Space for play is threatened by development and traffic.
• Freedom to play is stifled by perceptions of risk, and fear.
• Time for play is limited by more testing in school and sedentary activities.
• Funding for play workers and play spaces is increasingly scarce. About London PLAY London Play works to ensure children have the space, time and freedom to play.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in climate change, policy, diplomacy, or finance, and who share our commitment to justice, inclusion, and the power of culture to drive change.

Terms of Appointment

Time Commitment

• Chair: 2-3 days per month
• Treasurer: 1-2 days per month
• Board members: 1-2 days per month

Why Join Us?

This is a pivotal moment for the creative and cultural community. For decades, Julie’s Bicycle has championed the vital role of culture - heritage, arts and creative industries - in climate action. We have worked directly with organisations to understand the practical and conceptual changes needed, translating that knowledge into insights that inform policy and funding. Now, the potential of culture to contribute to a just and thriving future is being widely recognised.

Our previous Co-Director, Natalie Highwood, expertly steered the company through the first stage of post-Covid recovery and a new strategy, and we have now welcomed a new Managing Director, Laura Pando, from Climate KIC where she ran the flagship 30mil EU programme Pathways2Resilience.

This is a unique opportunity to help lead a pioneering not-for-profit organisation that mobilises the arts and culture to take action on the climate, nature, and justice crises. We hope you are interested in joining us in this vital work and look forward to hearing from you.

How to Apply

As part of the application process, we are open to informal chats from prospective candidates. If you’d like to have an informal chat to discuss your potential fit, please get in touch with our MD.

If you’d like to apply, please complete the application form, declaration of eligbility form and equal opportunities monitoring form on our website and submit these by 11.59pm on Sunday 23th November 2025.

We are committed to being an Equal Opportunities Employer; we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, gender, disability, culture, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.

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 Julie’s Bicycle.
