Opportunities
We have a range of opportunities at Open Eye Gallery. Please scroll down for the opportunity that suits you.
Treasurer - Board of Trustees
Open Eye Gallery is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. The trustees of the charity are also Board members of the company. For simplicity, these ‘dual’ positions are referred to as ‘Board members’.
Following the retirement of our Treasurer – who left the organisation in good financial health, we are seeking a new Board member with finance expertise to take on the role of Treasurer and become an active Board member and energetic champion of Open Eye Gallery.
The Treasurer’s role is principally one of supporting the Board in its overall fiduciary responsibility: maintaining an overview of the organisation’s work in relation to its financial viability; ensuring that proper financial records and procedures are maintained.
All Board members are asked to attend 4 Board meetings per year and the Treasurer also leads a Finance subcommittee, involving the Director and Finance Manager which meets before the Board papers are sent out and can be done ‘virtually’ if necessary.

Digital Marketing, Communications and Content Producer

They will work with the staff team, partners and communities to grow attendance and participation across Open Eye Gallery’s programme. They will work to expand the scope of the wider programme, creating opportunities for lasting digital engagement. Additionally, they will take the organisational lead for any marketing and PR activity.
We are a small, dedicated charity team looking for a professional with a wide skill-set to support and communicate about the work we are doing. Enthusiasm and a positive approach under the pressure of small budgets and multiple deadlines are a must.
