HEAD OF CREATIVE DELIVERY
“At LYT, we’re committed to young people getting the highest quality experience possible so they feel the value of their creativity. If they feel valued when they’re young, they will be inspired in whatever path they choose and they’ll learn that hard work pays off.”
– Helen Stanley (Artistic Director 2000-2023)
About The Role: LYT’s Trustees have created the Head of Creative Delivery as a new post to follow the departure of long time Artistic Director, Helen Stanley. The role will lead the creative team in developing an artistically-challenging and socially-relevant annual programme of work for young people of all ages, ensuring excellent artistic practice in line with LYT’s youth-led values. The post will also manage and deliver LYT’s wide artistic programme, including directing/producing youth theatre performances. At this time of transition for LYT, the post will collaborate closely with the CEO to continue to build an innovative operating model of a Youth-Led Creative Hub that centres young people’s creativity at all levels.
“Our Head of Creative Delivery will have good ‘young people vibes’ –
you’ll be inclusive, have good communication skills with young people and
be able to treat us as peers, instead of being patronising.”
– Members’ Committee
About You: You will be a dynamic creative practitioner with skills in directing youth theatre performance alongside a passion for empowering young people’s artistic development.
