Creative Blackpool Partnership Director

The Creative Blackpool Development Group, supported by Blackpool Grand Theatre wish to recruit a dynamic and innovative leader who will spearhead collaborative efforts, drive creative initiatives, and foster partnerships across Blackpool’s cultural sector.

Over the past 3 years, the Creative Blackpool Delivery Group (CBDG) has been developing shared leadership for culture and place by leveraging the support, knowledge and capabilities of our cultural assets and cross sector partners to develop an ambitious vision for 2030 – that Blackpool will be recognised as the UK’s Coastal Capital of Creativity.

Our next step on this journey is to deliver an exciting and ambitious programme of strategic and joined up activities that support the delivery of our strategy. We have now successfully secured £750k Arts Council England (ACE) Place Partnership funding for the programme to match cash investment and support in kind from a wide range of partners.

Blackpool’s cultural sector has a small number of leaders, so we wish to appoint a Partnership Director to lead and support the delivery of this programme over the next 2.5 years until autumn 2027.
