Programme Coordinator

Coventry City of Culture Trust was set up in 2015 to bid to be UK City of Culture in 2021. Now that we have been successful in securing the prestigious title, we are recruiting the team ready to deliver an ambitious UK City of Culture year in 2021 and legacy.

We are a diverse, modern city which is re-imagining the role culture can play in bringing people together. Coventry is a city of welcome, a city of activists and pioneers, a city of peace and reconciliation, a city of innovation and invention, a City of Culture.

The Trust is looking to appoint a Programme Coordinator to support the Head of Programme in the administration of the programme for Coventry City of Culture Trust. The postholder will work as part of the Programme team with responsibility for ensuring methods of working are followed accurately across the Producing Team, booking travel and accommodation for artists, supporting the administration of the programme and collection of data crucial for monitoring and evaluation.

We aim to reflect all the city’s communities in our workforce and as such candidates from currently under-represented groups, including those with disabilities, are especially encouraged to apply.

We are looking to build a team of people from a range of backgrounds and range of experiences. We can provide mentoring and training/support to less experienced candidates. Training and talent development within the Trust team and within the wider sector is central to our approach. All postholders are expected to participate in training and development activity and to contribute time and expertise to supporting our training programmes on site and occasionally off site.
