Poet-in-residence, Gloucester Poetry Cares
Deadline: Sun 4 Jan 2026
Literature Works are seeking a poet-in-residence to deliver six weekly sessions at a care home in Gloucester as part of its Poetry Cares programme in February and March 2026.
Poetry Cares celebrates the power of poetry and the positive impact of creative engagement with those affected by memory loss. Sharing and creating poetry can help to unlock memories and spark connections for people living with memory loss, their friends and their families.
This role is perfect for practitioners who have experience of using poetry as a tool for reminiscence, perhaps you have worked at our Poetry Cares sessions in Memory cafes? Or alternatively, for any writer with experience of using creative writing in socially engaged ways in care or similar settings.
The fee for the residency is £1,500 inclusive.
