Through our work we aim to facilitate positive social change with individuals and communities, enabling people’s voices to be seen, heard and reflected. Our work enables greater social inclusion.

We are seeking to grow and develop the organisation with the ambition of becoming a leading, nationally-recognised centre for photography and media in the South West. To achieve this we will need to scale up the organisation, attract investment and develop new income streams, alongside scaling the social impact of our community projects.

Though the successful candidate may come from any sector, prior experience within the media or cultural sectors would be beneficial. An understanding of the values and ethos behind social enterprise, community-led and socially-motivated work is crucial.

At our core is a nurturing of possibility and ambition, both for project participants and our own team. We value our holistic and collaborative company culture, thus the confidence to develop innovative, alternative models of working is vital.
