Voluntary Arts Scotland: Interim Director (Sabbatical Cover)

Voluntary Arts Scotland: Interim Director (Sabbatical Cover)Salary: £36,851 pa.
Location: The post is based in the Voluntary Arts Scotland offices in Edinburgh.
Hours: 37.5 hours per week.
Deadline: Friday 16 June 2017.
This is a very exciting time to be joining Voluntary Arts Scotland. Voluntary Arts is the national representative organisation for community-led arts across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Voluntary Arts Scotland champions and supports thousands of local voluntary arts groups across Scotland and promotes creative cultural participation. Working with a network of national voluntary arts umbrella bodies, Voluntary Arts Scotland provides a single national voice for the diverse voluntary arts sector.

After nearly five years leading Voluntary Arts Scotland, Jemma Neville is taking a 9-month sabbatical to focus on her own creative practice. Jemma’s break creates a unique opportunity for a new Interim Director to temporarily lead the Voluntary Arts Scotland team, add fresh input and ideas and to continue the development of our work in Scotland in partnership with the Chair of Voluntary Arts Scotland, Michelle Sweeney.

This would be an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a temporary role, perhaps as a secondment arrangement from one of our strategic partners. Voluntary Arts would welcome innovative approaches to this nine-month sabbatical-cover role that would bring new ideas and insights to the work of Voluntary Arts Scotland.

Voluntary Arts Scotland is well placed to help deliver the Scottish Government and Creative Scotland focus on equality of access to participation, a rights based approach to cultural engagement and the development of traditional arts, in relation to Scottish culture and identity. A fully funded programme of project work is underway for 2017 - 2018. The successful candidate will work alongside a very capable staff team in a dynamic office environment at our Creative Exchange office space in Leith.
