Facilitator call out

URGENT Open call for a multi-disciplinary artist facilitator to join our freelance team. Due to a last minute clash of availability, Spare Tyre is looking for up to 2 facilitators to join our team of freelancers this Autumn. You will be supporting the lead artists in planning, facilitating, and reflecting on sensory arts sessions for older people (including people living with dementia) living in residential care in Croydon. You do not need to have previous experience with older people, you need to be compassionate and patient as well as immensely talented.  We would like to hear from participatory artists with a proven commitment to inclusion, to support our lead artists starting in early October – December with possible involvement in future projects in 2026 and beyond.

Dates: Monday 29th September 2025, Friday 31st October 2025, Friday 14th November 2025, Friday 29th November 2025, and two more dates tbc

Fee: These are full day commitments paid at £185 per day

Location: Acacia Care Centre, 32 Chalfont Road, SE25 4AA (Croydon)

How to apply: Please send a 2-page CV of relevant experience, and a cover letter of 1-side explaining you interest in working with us and what you can bring. We don't want you to spend too long on your application as we know how agonising it is. If you would like to apply using video, your cover video should be no longer than 2 minutes, and cover the same points.

Deadline: 10am, Monday 22nd September 2025 (we know it's quick!)
Interview/ workshop: Tuesday 23rd September 2025
We will contact everyone by end of Friday 26th September 2025
