The Southern Uplands Partnership is looking for two experienced and enthusiastic individuals with a background in cultural placemaking and / or participatory arts to join the Connecting Threads team.
These roles will contribute to the delivery of an ambitious four-year programme of cultural activity based around the River Tweed in the south of Scotland.
Connecting Threads is the cultural strand of Destination Tweed, a landscape-scale project that aims to conserve and celebrate the River Tweed from source to sea. Working in partnership with local communities and cultural, educational and environmental organisations, Connecting Threads will bring different knowledges and creative practices together in experiential ways to support a culture of stewardship and collaboration.
The two new River Culture Animateurs will be part of a small creative team, working alongside the River Culture Curator, one existing River Culture Animateur and a River Messenger. Through independent and collaborative working, each Animateur will develop and deliver an evolving programme of cultural activity along one stretch of the River Tweed.
These positions are offered on a part-time basis, 3 days/week, on a 4-year contract (subject to funding). Flexible and hybrid working are supported for these roles. £27,000 - £30,000 pa fte (pro rata £16,200 - £18,000 pa).
