We’re a small but ambitious arts charity on an exciting journey. We are transforming a half-acre industrial heritage site - New River Head Clerkenwell - into the national centre for illustration and a home for Quentin Blake’s archive.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and experienced person to join our team as Schools and Families Producer, prior to the opening of the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration in spring 2026.

This new role will champion the needs of children and young people, their schools and their families, onsite and across our programmes. Working as part of a collaborative, friendly team, the Schools and Families Producer will help shape an environment in which people of all ages and confidence-levels feel welcome and empowered to share their stories and ideas through illustration.

They will build on our strong track record of school and family programmes, producing self-led activities, public events (e.g. festivals, workshops and drop-ins), formal learning (EYFS, primary, secondary, FE and SEND) and teacher CPD.

We champion art that is dynamic, diverse and inclusive; we want our team to reflect that. Although this is listed as a four days a week post, we’re very happy to explore alternative working patterns.

In recognition of underrepresentation in our staff team we will be offering guaranteed interviews to D/deaf and disabled applicants and applicants of African, Caribbean, Central Asian, East Asian, Latinx, South Asian, South East Asian and West Asian heritage whose applications meet the essential criteria listed in the Job Pack.
