Programme: Slough’s Cultural Revival

Funded by Arts Council England’s Place Partnership Fund

Purpose of the Role

The Programme Manager will lead the delivery of Slough’s Cultural Revival, a major place-based cultural initiative funded by Arts Council England. The programme will build cultural capacity in Slough, develop local talent, drive audience engagement, and establish long-term infrastructure to support a thriving cultural sector.

Together As One is seeking an experienced Programme Manager to oversee the monitoring and delivery of our Culture and Place Partnership from June 2025 to January 2026.

Slough’s Cultural Revival is funded by Arts Council England as a Place Partnership Fund programme. The programme began in April 2025 and the activity will conclude in December 2025.

Slough is one of the UK’s most diverse towns, and this role requires someone with a strong track record of delivering inclusive, culturally relevant programmes that centre equity and representation. A deep understanding of working in diverse communities is essential.

The Programme Manager will work with the activity delivery partners to manage and coordinate delivery of the six key themes outlined in our successful application:

The Cultural Corridor – A central town centre space for performances, exhibitions, and outdoor events.
The Digital Media Skills Hub – Professional-grade equipment and training in digital content creation.
The Slough Museum – Revitalised to engage the public and attract broader audiences through heritage-focused programming.
Community Engagement – Targeted programmes to involve underrepresented groups.
Talent Development – Support for training in South Asian dance, digital production, heritage skills, and producer development.
Marketing and Audience Development – Using AI tools and collaborative promotion to increase awareness and participation.

Key Responsibilities

– Manage overall delivery of Slough’s Cultural Revival programme against the agreed plan, outcomes, and timelines.

– Coordinate the work of multiple delivery partners across the Cultural Corridor, Digital Media Skills Hub, and Slough Museum.

– Chair the Delivery Group and lead day-to-day communication and decision-making with stakeholders.

– Monitor delivery progress, manage risks, and solve problems as they arise.

– Ensure robust financial management and report to the CEO and funders.

– Lead on reporting requirements for Arts Council England and match funders.

– Work with the Marketing Lead to support promotional and audience development activity.

– Oversee evaluation, including surveys, focus groups, and programme reviews.

– Build and maintain partnerships with local authorities, businesses, and community and cultural organisations.

– Embed Arts Council’s Investment Principles (Ambition & Quality, Inclusivity & Relevance, Environmental Responsibility, and Dynamism).

– Ensure safeguarding, accessibility, and sustainability across all programme activities.

– Contribute to legacy planning for the continuation of cultural spaces and partnerships.
