Bristol City Council has a proud record in the areas of community arts, festivals, and in promoting filming - and we're now looking for a manager to lead a team of ten people covering these areas.

In community arts, our work ranges from promoting dance projects to opening up empty shops as temporary arts venues - and to achieving benefits in terms of health, community development and regeneration, as well as helping grow Bristol's headline artists of tomorrow. Our festivals team is behind small and large events across the city - none larger than our annual Harbour Festival, which in 2011 celebrated its 40th year with crowds of over 250,000. Our events licensing team has made Bristol the official 'street party capital of England' with more external events here than any other city council area (over 400 last year alone). Our film office team are the people who make it easy for TV and film crews to film in the city, bringing in millions of pounds to the local economy.

After a major restructuring, we've said goodbye to many valued colleagues, and we're now looking for a new manager to join the new (now smaller) team and take its work forward in a new chapter - focusing on delivering the highest priority work, and developing partnerships across the whole city that deliver far more than we ever could alone.

So, whether your expertise is in community arts, in event production, in licensing, or in film location promotion - or even across several of those areas - if you feel you're up to the challenge, and would enjoy the reward of seeing your team's work celebrated across Bristol and beyond, please apply.
