Special Programs Manager

The Special Projects Manager is charged with designing and delivering high-quality creative writing-based projects to young people aged 7 to 17 (Stages 2 to 6) in a variety of contexts. Often delivered in collaboration with other arts and cultural organisations or artists, these projects bring together young people from a number of schools or groups to write and create a shared public outcome that they can be proud of. This outcome could take many forms: a book, script, series of short films, or an exhibition that mixes words with dance or art or film. Projects might run for six months or over multiple years, and can involve small or large groups of students.

It is vital that all projects are culturally appropriate, draw on diverse cultures, and give our students opportunities to authentically express their ideas and beliefs. Where appropriate, the Special Projects Manager will consult and work with Elders and Traditional Custodians, and First Nations writers and artists. The Special Projects Manager will ensure our projects are of the highest quality, aligned to our Theory of Change, and make the biggest possible difference in the lives of the young people who participate.
