What will you be doing?
You would be responsible for maintaining links with our existing community groups and growing this network. In the last few week alone we have welcomed people living with dementia to work with clay, local care home residents to craft their own tea bags, and hosted wellbeing sessions for people with mental health problems, hosted a Windrush Day celebration, and opened our museum for free for our Neighbours Day, which welcomed 491 people and featured a collaborative slow stitch activity and a display of textile hangings made by Lambeth community groups: Sunshine International Arts, Lavender Hope, and Art 4 Space.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a special person who leads creative learning sessions – from clay, to dance, to gardening – for community groups who benefit most from a tailored programme.
We want to welcome someone to the Garden Museum team who will continue the legacy of Janine Nelson who has worked with thousands of local people over the last 17 years and will retire this summer. No two days will be the same in this role, from the art, design and gardening sessions you develop and lead to the people you meet and work with. If this sounds like an exciting opportunity for you and fits with your own creative work, then we would love to hear from you.
This role is generously funded by the Julia Rausing Trust.
