Senior Programme Manager Jobs

PHF has a long-standing interest in Arts Education. We currently have two Funds focusing on this area; our Arts-based Learning Fund and the Teacher Development Fund. As a Grants Manger - Arts Education, you will be particularly focused on these two Funds.

We believe that arts-based approaches can build equity in classrooms and support children and young people, particularly those experiencing disadvantage, to overcome barriers to learning. We know that the arts play an important role in supporting young people to thrive in education. The arts can enrich learning experiences, increasing young people’s engagement in school and learning and supporting key educational outcomes. The arts can also unlock potential by helping young people to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and problem-solving. In addition, engaging with the arts supports young people’s communication, empathy and emotional wellbeing.

Through our Arts’ Education funding we support arts/cultural organisations and education settings to work in partnership to explore how the arts can enrich the lives of children and young people and develop the professional practice of teachers.

In addition to our grant-making the Arts Education team supports a range of learning activities for grant-holders. This includes a formal Cohort Learning Programme for organisations involved in the Teachers Development Fund and informal online learning and networking events for organisations in the Arts-based Learning Fund portfolio.
