We’re looking for a manager to lead on our two brand new Art Projects: Art Group and Art Hub. This is an exciting and varied role for someone who is creative, has a genuine passion for working with people and who has good project management skills.

About the Projects

Art School: Background Information to the Art Projects

We ran a Community Art School for adult artists with learning disabilities for two years from 2022 – 2024 thanks to funding from the National Lottery. Over the course of the project we worked with over 40 artists with learning disabilities & autism. Art School was a non-directive art group, a place where neurodiverse adults met to create art that was important to them and reflected who they are as individuals. Neurodiverse people can feel pressure to ‘mask’ who they truly are to fit into society’s accepted norms. We wanted to offer a space where neurodiverse adults could authentically express themselves. This group was led by an autistic art facilitator.

Art Group

We have started a new weekly Art Group in partnership with the charity East London Textile Arts (ELTA). This is a mixed ability group where artists with and without learning disabilities from ELTA and Hopeful Futures come together to work on heritage themed projects for exhibition. You will be responsible for the overall management for the Hopeful Futures part of this group.

Art Hub

Our new Art Hub is all about ‘our work is valuable to our community’. You will be responsible for the running of two weekly art hub sessions at Rosetta Arts in Westham where seven artists with a learning disability at each session will create their own pieces of work through the guidance and support of a qualified art tutor. You will be responsible for helping each artist to develop their work into sellable products and raising their profiles as individual artists.

About Unlocked

Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending. Currently prison isn’t a place which successfully does this – the average prisoner has 16 previous convictions and 55% of those released from short term sentences reoffend within one year. The work we do is both extremely challenging and massively urgent. We aspire to have deep impact on the landings of individual prisons, but also breadth of impact through the whole sector, and society at large.

Since 2017, we have sought to lead this change by recruiting, training and challenging the best graduates in the country to become prison officers. Our two-year programme has put the role on the map as a career where the best people can develop extraordinary leadership skills whilst making a real difference. We are established as a Times Top 100 Graduate Employer, and recognised in the UK and internationally for the impact our participants have on the landings.

We know that we will never achieve change on our own. Real, long-term change depends on our ambassadors – those who have completed the programme and are driving impact across the criminal justice system. To be an Unlocked ambassador is to be part of a movement for change: Whether they stay on the front line, shape national policy, or lead work in the wider sector, they draw on their shared experience to push for meaningful reform. By supercharging their collective expertise, we are building the momentum needed to transform prisons and break cycles of reoffending.

Our mission

The mission of Unlocked Graduates is to break cycles of re-offending by developing outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.

About the role

Our ambassadors are connected by a powerful shared experience, deeply held values, and a collective commitment to furthering our mission. The Ambassador Network Manager role is integral to harnessing this potential, ensuring our growing community remains engaged, connected, and empowered to make an impact.

We have strong engagement across the ambassador network and work closely with this community involving them in our programme, and supporting them to tackle cycles of reoffending in whatever path they choose. We have made a significant strategic commitment to investing in a purposeful, high-impact ambassador network; one that fosters connections, empowers ambassadors to thrive in their careers, and drives collaboration across the sector.

As our network grows, this role needs to go beyond one-to-one relationship management, applying community organising and self-sustaining network-building principles to ensure ambassadors can support and mobilise each other. Our strategy is evolving at pace, so we’re looking for someone who can test and trial new approaches to engagement, bringing fresh ideas and adapting quickly.

We are looking for someone with proven experience in relationship building and community management, with a drive and enthusiasm for growing our network to have impact.

Alongside those studying onsite, the College welcomes “dispersed” students engaged in blended learning. Through both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, training and research, the College seeks to shape leaders of Christ-like character in community for the sake of a missional church, who “live like the Kingdom is near.”

The College is seeking to appoint a Director of Finance & Operations who will ensure the flourishing of the College as a business. He or she will take a lead on College finances and other support services including the College site while contributing to broader decision making as part of the College’s Leadership Team.

This role requires someone able and eager to shoulder responsibility for the financial management of the College and provide oversight of other areas of operations. A strategic Christian leader, they must anticipate and creatively respond to opportunities to develop the College. Crucial to their success will be Christ-like character, strong financial and commercial instincts, as well as the relational wisdom and maturity to partner with a breadth of stakeholders on both strategic and operational issues.

Persons of UK minority ethnic/global majority heritage and with disabilities are under-represented in the college’s Leadership Team. In order to maximise our opportunity of making an appointment that will enhance the diversity of our team, at the shortlisting stage, the college will take matters of diversity into account when deciding which candidates who meet the essential criteria to invite for interview.
