Operations Manager - Culture, Heritage & Enrichment

Operations Manager - Culture, Heritage & Enrichment, Groundwork South and North Tyneside has been Changing Places and Changing Lives for over 30 years through a variety of environmental, learning, health and skills programmes: SOUTH & NORTH TYNESIDE - Groundwork

We are a fast paced and diverse charity with an excellent track record in partnership working and high-quality delivery.

Through our strategic theme of 'Enriching Lives through Environment, Culture and Heritage', we aim to inspire engagement and discovery informed by our past, present and future. The delivery of the theme would be focused around our operational site at Jarrow Hall Anglo-Saxon Farm & Bede Museum and West Boldon Education Centre as well as delivering outreach programmes to engage communities and break down barriers to access services.

Our Cultural Services, especially through our Jarrow Hall Museum and programmes have significantly developed over the past 3 years, and in April 2023, our organisation became an Arts Council, National Portfolio Organisation which provides a great foundation to further develop our offer and deliver our ambitions under our Jarrow Hall Masterplan and 3 year strategic plans. Under this theme, the successful postholder would oversee our strategic direction, operations and partnership working across our work under our service areas of Cultural Services, Learning Beyond the Classroom and Outdoor Learning.

Through this role, you will support and develop a number of strategic relationships with partners such as Arts Council England, Cultural Partnerships, Sage Foundation and National Grid to further our partnerships.
