Artist Support and Events Manager: How To Apply

You may not have worked in an organisation like South East Dance before, but have transferable skills from your work in another field, for example you may have experience in a retail, hospitality, sports or education context.  

If you feel you can do the job of Artist Support and Events Manager well and bring your own unique approach to it, then we would love to hear from you.  If you are from a background that is underrepresented in the culture sector (for example you are from the Global Majority, D/deaf, disabled or neurodivergent, did not go to University or had free school meals as a child) and you would like help to explain how your work experience is transferable to this role, please email jobs@southeastdance.org.uk and we will arrange for you to meet with one of our team who can talk you through how best to present your application. 

You can make your application in any of the following formats:

• Curriculum Vitae and letter.  The letter should be not more than two sides of A4
• An audio recording of not more than eight minutes
• A video recording of not more than eight minutes
• In British Sign Language

If you would like to use a different format, then please let us know by emailing jobs@southeastdance.org.uk

Whichever way you choose to make your application please tell us:

• Why you are interested in the job
• Why you think you would do it well. This could be because you have done a similar job which has given you some direct relevant experience or experience you have gained in other ways which you feel would make you a good fit for the job
• Anything else about you that you think makes you a good candidate
• If you are disabled, please say in your cover letter if you are applying under the guaranteed interview scheme
• If you are from a background that is underrepresented in our workforce and would like to be interviewed if you meet the essential criteria for the role, then please say this in your cover letter.
• Please include your pronouns within your application.
• Please provide the names and contact details (email address and telephone number) of two referees. We will only contact your referees if you are offered the role.
• Please also complete our Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form. This is important as we analyse these to see whether or not we are reaching a wider range of people in our recruitment processes and what changes we may need to make in future in order to do so.
