Creative Communities Officer - Kirklees Creative Economy Team

An opportunity has arisen in the Kirklees Creative Economy Team to cover the post of the Creative Communities Officer on a Fixed Term/Secondment basis until 31 March 2016. This opportunity has arisen due to the current postholder taking extended leave.

You will provide specialist advice about the arts to other services, partners and community organisations.
