BARBER HEALTH COORDINATOR
12-month Fixed Term Contract
Barber Health is the Barber’s flagship engagement programme which places arts, health and wellbeing at the heart of the Barber’s audience engagement, learning and outreach. As communities and the healthcare sector process lockdown and living with Covid-19, we asked how can the Barber best support them in their Covid-19 recovery? Barber Health directly addresses societal issues foregrounded by Covid-19. The project consists of two strands that holistically work together- a creative arts, health and wellbeing programme for hyperlocal communities which runs alongside innovative cultural contributions to medical education.
The new role of Barber Health Coordinator is key to successfully delivering this project. Working closely with the Barber Health team, including our new Nurse in Residence, and key community partners the Coordinator will contribute to the design of creative, innovative and deliverable Barber Health activities, events and resources that utilise and share the Barber’s collection effectively. The post holder will also be responsible for the administration, logistical planning and communication of Barber Health to ensure successful project delivery.
The role of Barber Health Coordinator sits within the Learning and Engagement team which is part of the Barber’s Public Engagement team. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.
Apply by: Sunday 7 February
