Anne Peaker Centre for Arts in Criminal Justice
Management Information Services Development
It is our aim to offer an ex offender a voluntary work placement with Anne Peaker Centre. Their role would be to specifically develop the management information services; namely the website Arts on the Out. This would initially be a three year contract, working 20 hours per week. The salary would be £11,830 pro rata, 5% pension contribution.
The Arts on the Out service is accessed by offenders, prisoners, ex-offenders and prison and criminal justice staff. The site will continue to provide useful information and advice, which focuses strongly on jobs in creative and cultural industries for offenders, with employers within the sector driving the design and delivery of programmes. This role will be directly supervised by the development manager. This person will have access to all APCentre resources e.g. library and events. They will also be encouraged to undertake any training events that are relevant and will be given guidance and support from staff namely CEO mentoring and supervision. This role will suit an ex offender who is keen to move into the arts sector in the capacity of arts administration/research and information.
