The Barber Institute of Fine Arts in Birmingham is looking to hire a Health Co-ordinator. The gallery, which contains a rather enviable collection of old master and impressionist paintings, is seeking a co-ordinator to support them with their recovery from covid-19. It seems the role was partly inspired by the idea of flipping the 'artist in residence' at hospitals to creating the role of a 'nurse in residence' in their gallery.
As the job description for this unique position explains:
As communities and the healthcare sector process lockdown and living with Covid-19, we asked how can the Barber best support them in their Covid-19 recovery? Barber Health directly addresses societal issues foregrounded by Covid-19. The project consists of two strands that holistically work together- a creative arts, health and wellbeing programme for hyperlocal communities which runs alongside innovative cultural contributions to medical education.
The new role of Barber Health Coordinator is key to successfully delivering this project. Working closely with the Barber Health team, including our new Nurse in Residence, and key community partners the Coordinator will contribute to the design of creative, innovative and deliverable Barber Health activities, events and resources that utilise and share the Barber’s collection effectively. The post holder will also be responsible for the administration, logisitcal planning and communication of Barber Health to ensure successful project delivery.
The role comes with a salary up to £21,598 and applications must be in by 7th February 2021.
Good luck if you're applying!
