Partnerships Lead
Partnerships Lead
Artis holds the power to reflect, to motivate and to bring us to our highest possible selves. Without the arts we are but two dimensions.

Partnerships Lead
Do you want a role that inspires, delights, and enables you to flourish? Artis is looking for a Partnerships Lead to support us on our new online video proposition that will nurture children’s creativity everywhere.
You’ll play a key role in supporting and growing Artis’ partnerships with schools across the UK while helping to deliver engaging communications. From creating content to analysing project performance and building relationships with educators and funders, you’ll help ensure our work reaches and inspires more children, teachers and schools.
About Artis
Artis is a creative learning charity that enables children to sing, act, and dance their curriculum. This experiential way of learning ensures sparks fly in the right direction! With 4.3 million children in the UK growing up in poverty, impacting their mental health and school attendance, Artis has a profound effect on children’s wellbeing by prioritising the arts throughout learning while supporting vital communication skills.
Artis was established in 2004 as a social business to pioneer creative learning in schools and tackle social deprivation, converting to a registered charity in 2017. We bring the expertise of performing artists into the classroom working with primary-aged children to enhance their ability to learn, challenge and explore through curriculum-based cross-artform practice. We work in-person with primary schools in the top 20% of the most deprived areas in England and we recruit and develop performing artists to work closely with them and deliver focused learning based on the needs of individual schools. This ranges from lack of engagement to poor literacy or maths skills. Within this framework we also support teachers to develop new management strategies and embed creative learning in their schools.
Our in-person programme has amazingly positive feedback from primary schools but is currently constrained to around 50 schools. The geographic availability of specialists and shrinking school budgets are significant challenges when it comes to expanding our in-person model. To overcome these restrictions to growth, we will complement our in-person offer by amplifying our unique style of creative learning with a broadcast quality, video on-demand streaming service for primary schools across the UK.
