We believe that culture brings people together, enriches communities and improves lives.

We are looking for an organised and enthusiastic Programme Coordinator to join our Enterprise & Innovation Directorate. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of a dynamic team that supports organisational improvement, innovation and change across Arts Council England.

As part of a collaborative and nationally dispersed team, you will have the opportunity to work with senior leaders, support strategic programmes and help develop more effective ways of working. You'll contribute to a wide range of activities, from coordinating projects and managing information to supporting governance, reporting and business operations.

We offer a supportive and flexible working environment, a generous benefits package, and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to an organisation that champions culture and creativity across England.

Role Details: This is a varied and rewarding coordination role supporting the day-to-day operation of the Enterprise & Innovation Directorate.
