We’re looking for Co-Directors

The Board of Trustees is looking to hire two* inspirational and inclusive individuals to lead Blaze through the next phase of our work.

The two roles on offer are:

  • Strategic Director
  • Engagement Director

*While we are primarily looking to hire two part-time roles for Co-Directors, we also welcome applications from people who feel they have the skills and experience to combine both roles.

We welcome applications from candidates who have a strong track record of and/or passion for delivering high-quality and accessible cultural activities, and can demonstrate an entrepreneurial, inclusive and collaborative approach to youth-led practice.

You’ll be a compelling representative for Blaze, building impactful relationships with a wide range of local and national partners, donors, funders and other stakeholders.

You’ll closely align with the values of Blaze, with a genuine passion for nurturing young people, committed to amplifying their voices to ensure the sector becomes more equitable.

Blaze recognises the value of a diverse workforce, and representation of the people and communities we work with. We encourage you to apply no matter your age, caring responsibilities, disability, gender, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation.
