Are you an outstanding creative practitioner who loves to work in the outdoors? If so this opportunity could be for you!
People tell us that green spaces and being in nature is one of the best things about life in Rotherham and they want to get outside and get creative in those sites, but we know there are still barriers for many people, particularly those who have low levels of physical activity.
Rotherham boasts a rural landscape covering over 70% of its area, featuring acclaimed destinations like the 80-hectare Clifton Park and Green Flay-awarded sites such as Ulley, Greasbrough, and Rother Valley. Additionally, picturesque open water sites like Manvers and Thrybergh offer unique experiences. The region also has remarkable heritage sites such as Waterloo Kiln, Clifton Museum, Wentworth Woodhouse, Keppel’s Column, and Boston Castle, nestled amidst both formal and informal gardens.
As part of a Sport England funded project, we are looking to recruit a team of outstanding creative practitioners who have experience of developing creative playful activity outdoors. The team of practitioners will develop and deliver creative interventions and consultation in targeted green spaces in Rotherham helping us to understand what will help people to get more active and creative outdoors. This project will work alongside Rotherham's Public Health team and will be targeted at a wide range of people of all ages who currently have low levels of physical activity. We are particularly interested in creative practitioners who are based in the local region. Please note- this project will explore how green spaces can be used for people to access independently, so should not rely heavily on a pop up workshop model which for example requires tables, chairs etc.
If you think you're perfect to be part of this team, we'd love to find out more about you. Just fill in this simple short JOTFORM to be considered.
Deadline Friday 30th May at 12 midday.
