We are the world’s leading Cultural Relations Organisation and we believe that creating opportunities for people to understand each other better, work together more and learn from one another is crucial to building secure, more prosperous and sustainable futures for us all.

Our activities - whether in the arts, science, sport, English teaching, climate change or education - nurture greater trust and understanding between different countries and cultures. They also build strong international links to and from Britain, opening doors for the UK onto the rest of the world and for the world back to the UK. Our work gives people - both in Britain and across the hundred-plus countries we work in - opportunities to learn, share and connect worldwide.

The Drama and Dance Department of the British Council works with drama and dance professionals to promote international collaboration and professional exchange. We work with our overseas network of arts managers and partners to plan and deliver high-impact arts programmes which promote new images of the UK, establish long-term partnerships and attract younger audiences.

We are looking for an arts professional with a real understanding of the drama and dance sectors in the UK, and a passion for connecting people and organisations.

With an ability to think both strategically and tactically, you’ll be someone whose opinion and help is sought in the sectors, with easy access to decision makers in organisations both large and small.
You’ll also be comfortable with designing and delivering large projects yourself and through others.
