Irish Community Care Manchester is a fantastic organisation to work for and we are looking for people who are passionate about caring for and celebrating the unique culture and heritage of the Irish in Manchester

This post will continue and enhance the delivery of a range of cultural programmes across Manchester to celebrate the rich diversity of Irish in Manchester. The post will focus on our objectives to engage with those who are less connected to our existing networks and provide for the cultural and social needs of the Irish community.

Key Responsibilities:

This will be done by establishing the following groups, events and partnerships:

• Raise our profile and develop relationships with the established events    across Manchester.

• Develop and curate a range of activities across Manchester that showcase Irish Culture and build community.

• Develop new projects which focus on inclusivity to celebrate the diversity of the Irish diaspora and wider Irish community in Manchester.

• Widening engagement through outreach with other community groups.

• Research and evidence need to ensure ICCM’s activities reflect the communities we represent.

• Monitor and report on outcomes and impact of activity.

• Promoting Irish culture through partnership and coproduction with arts practitioners and presenting partners.

• To promote the wider work of ICCM, facilitating pathways to support where needed.

• To be aware of and maintain best practice in safeguarding.

• To commit to continuous professional development and keep up to date with best practise in the sector.

• To attend relevant conferences and seminars locally, regionally and nationally as directed by line manager.

• To participate and engage in supervision and appraisal provided by the manager

• To work as an accountable member of the staff team, working within the charity’s policies and procedures

• It is the nature of the work at ICCM that tasks and responsibilities are in many circumstances unpredictable and varied. All staff are therefore expected to work in a flexible way, when the occasion arises, when tasks not specifically covered in their job have to be undertaken.

• To ensure you fully embrace ICCM’s values in all your work
