Day-to-day operating brief

What Community Arts Worker work looks like in practice

A Community Arts Worker plans and facilitates creative activity with local groups in centres, schools, care settings, public spaces or temporary venues. Success depends on participation and access rather than simply producing an artwork. Terms should identify communities and locations, session planning, safeguarding and boundaries, consent for images or stories, accessibility, partner responsibilities, materials and expenses, lone work, public exhibitions, participant data, evaluation and the distinction between facilitation and therapeutic or specialist support.

  • Coordinate participants partners venues and materials.
  • Apply safeguarding consent and boundary procedures.
  • Manage authorised budgets travel and session resources.

Records and evidence
