Culture Care North CIC, in partnership with The Cultural Spring, are seeking an artist or creative to join a community arts research project in Sunderland.

This pioneering female-led social enterprise supports ethnically diverse communities by combining culturally competent care with opportunities for training and employment. Together, we want to explore how co-creative arts practices—such as clay work or other artforms—can help reduce isolation, foster stronger connections, and enhance care for Global Majority communities.

The role will focus on leading creative conversations and consultations with Culture Care North CIC participants (many of whom are women, with Bengali/Sylheti speakers), staff and community members. This first research stage will shape a future co-created project.

• Fee: Up to £1,000 (inclusive of travel, expenses, materials and VAT)

• Timeline: January – March 2026 (flexible)

• Deadline: Submit a short video (preferred) or written expression of interest by 12 noon, Wednesday 29th October 2025
