I applied for a job like this at another local authority about 2 years ago. It sounded ideal, a chance to mix my interests with my work. I was "lucky" enough to get it. Forget creativity and vibrancy. If you like working with no budget and writing countless grant applications for events that may or may not happen unless you get the funding, and fitting your creativity into the guidelines for the funding, and then if the event does take place, people may or may not come to it, no matter how much advertising you do, all within an organisation that pays lip service to the "arts".... then this job is for you. I likened my 12 months in the job to working in molasses, because it took so long for anything to happen. I found it so boring that I went back teaching after nearly 3 decades not teaching!! But don't let me put you off....
