East Durham Creates is an Arts Council England-supported project, working across the East Durham area and aiming to get more people involved in arts and creative activity. We are working with residents to deliver an ambitious arts programme – every element of which is community-led in some way, and totally distinctive to the area – inspired by East Durham the place and by the people who live there.
East Durham Creates is seeking a resourceful, talented and motivated individual to play a key role in helping to deliver imaginative new ways to inspire East Durham residents to get involved in our wide-ranging programme. You’ll support the Programme Manager and Communications Manager in all marketing, community engagement and communications activities, to help ensure the smooth delivery of the East Durham Creates programme.
