We’re looking for someone to lead on producing our events programme, managing our gallery shop and coordinating the front of house. This is a varied and involved role, working closely with the Open Eye Gallery team, external partners, volunteers and all the people that come to use our space. This role will also involve producing the events programme for LOOK Photo Biennial.

Please read the full job description below. To apply, complete the application form, and submit it alongside an equal opportunities monitoring form.

Clickmoor is a new process-led socially engaged photography project delivered by Open Eye Gallery, with community partners. This initial residency opportunity will act as a pilot photography project between Open Eye Gallery and My Clubmoor (an initiative based in North Liverpool, Merseyside). It will involve working with Over-60s in Clubmoor and the surrounding area.

A local resident and photographer recently initiated a weekly photography group for people to come and discuss images old and new, as well as longer term goals for supporting residents with practical photographic skills through the creation of a formal photography hub for the centre and community.

The selected photographer will work with this core group, and support the development role of the local resident photographer as part of the collaborative process.
