Programme Assistant Three Day Week

Abandon Normal Devices (AND) is a commissioning agency and a catalyst for new approaches to art-making and digital invention. We create ground breaking projects which challenge the definitions of art and moving image with a distinct emphasis on creative enquiry and provocations. Since its inception in 2009, AND has shaken the creative sector through radical, risk-taking projects that challenge conventional modes of participation, and stimulate new art forms and creative inquiry.

AND is looking for a Programme Assistant to play a key role in the coordination and administration of the organisation and annual programme for 2022/23, including development of the next edition of AND Festival. This is a varied role including processing AND financial transactions, organising meetings, coordinating travel (national and international) for artists, the AND team and guests, with the opportunity to get hands-on production experience. The Programme Assistant will work closely with AND’s Senior Management team, supporting the successful delivery of the programme with a wider team of freelance staff, external contractors and volunteers during periods of delivery.

This is a fast-paced role, suitable for someone who ideally has a background and interest in the arts, partnership working and some experience of project and/or office coordination. You will be thorough in approach and be comfortable with multi-tasking and supporting the operations of the organisation. This is an exciting time to join our team and an opportunity to contribute to a new programme with innovation and experimentation at its core.
