Job Description
Artsplay Highland is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. We have been providing specialist early years music and arts activities in nurseries and primary school infant classes in the Highlands since 2003.
We are passionate about providing young children with opportunities to experience and enjoy music and the arts because we believe that music and the arts makes life better, and that people introduced to them at an early age will enjoy and benefit from them throughout their lives. We also want to support families, nursery staff and school staff with training and support so that they can share the joy and benefits of music and arts activities with the young children in their care, hopefully on a daily basis.
We are currently at a crucial point in our organisation’s development. We believe that there are opportunities to make our organisation more resilient and to expand our activities. We would like to appoint a suitably qualified person, who shares our passion for bringing music and arts activities to young children, to help us achieve our objectives.
The postholder will work with the trustees of Artsplay Highland to develop and implement an income generation strategy and detailed action plan to help achieve the company’s vision and objectives over the next five years. You will also identify potential sources of income for our existing activities from a wide range of sources, scope ideas for projects and activities, build links with the Highland business community, identify new markets for Artsplay Highland music activities, and explore opportunities for us to provide new digital resources and CPD services for families and early years practitioners/teachers.
We are looking for a person with previous successful experience of undertaking a development role in the arts/education/Gaelic language and arts sectors and/or in a social enterprise/charity setting.
