Baltic is a large must-visit art gallery and an iconic destination on the Gateshead quayside. We offer a warm welcome to 400,000 visitors each year and have just received our 10 millionth visitor.

We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join the team at Baltic as an Assistant Producer (Communities). As part of our dynamic and friendly Learning and Civic Engagement team, you’ll help build connections and nurture relationships with people and groups across Gateshead and the Northeast of England. With a belief in the power of art to bring people together and as a tool for social change, you will work responsively with the Producer (Communities) to develop and deliver co-produced events, and community focused programmes. 

This is a varied role, where a typical week might involve booking catering for an event, talking with community collaborators and friends, and supporting volunteers to feel welcome at Baltic. A positive, can-do attitude is essential. You will be skilled in working with people, with a knack for building collaborative relationships to deliver creative projects and events. You will value ideas from our community and partners, be able to hold inclusive spaces for a range of people, and facilitate dialogue with the communities we work with.

The ideal candidate will have a well-developed knowledge of contemporary art, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong organisational abilities and experience in engaging children and young people with and through creativity and culture.
