At Blackhorse Workshop our mission is ‘to bring people together through making; inspiring and supporting creative ambitions and building communities’.

Specialising in wood and metal equipment, we also run courses, training programmes for young people and special one-off cultural projects. We aim to support people to make a living doing what they love, open up the benefits of making and bring people together.

– 3 years of experience as a welder and are actively pursuing their own practice in a professional context.
– Previous teaching experience is desirable, but not an essential requirement.
– We are looking for someone who is confident and enjoys working with people, and be able to apply their experience to support participants.
– Good awareness of Health and Safety

We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, especially those currently less represented in our organisation and the arts industry.

We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to enable applicants to participate in the election process, and for the successful applicant to carry out their role.
