As Associate Director, you would have specific responsibilities for supporting co-producing opportunities, as well as starting a new youth group in Merseyside and running scratch nights. There is room to make the role your own and we want you to be feeding into to future projects at Graeae and our partners and help shape future support for disabled people in the arts.

This is a great opportunity to join a vibrant team in a supportive, creative and inclusive environment. It is a pivotal role in the smooth running of the organisation and we are looking for someone with an interest in the arts and a passion to learn.

Professional Development

Graeae invests in the development of their staff and are offer training tailored to the individual. We recognise the physical, attitudinal and financial barriers to training and nurture a supportive learning environment.

Support would depend on the role or individual but we are offering training on:

  • Software packages
  • Access support
  • Health and Safety
  • First Aid at Work
  • Fire Safety and Fire Marshal

As a team, we invest in Disability Equality Training, Anti-Racism, Trans Inclusive Training, Mental Health First Aid, British Sign Language and others

Access Support

Graeae offers all staff members an access audit; a review of support needs to ensure all employees have the tools to work as equals. We then support in an application to “Access to Work”, if needed, and have put funds aside to cover any costs not covered by the scheme. We will assist with booking interpreters, access workers or other personnel as required. Applicants will be responsible for their own personal care and home support needs. We are happy to discuss with you in advance of making an application if you are unsure.

Any additional access support required to make the application will be covered if agreed in advance.  This includes BSL interpreters, scribes, access workers and assistance with formatting. Please e-mail vicky@graeae.org if we can help with this.
