Area Delivery Organisation: Cre8us - Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire

Cre8us have recruited four new talented individuals to join the Creative Agent team to work with schools across Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire.

Creative agents play a key role in the delivery of the Creative Partnerships programmes with schools; they work closely with all the partners involved in the planning, delivery and evaluation of each project. Creative agents are experienced practitioners who have substantial experience of working in educational settings and a commitment to working in partnership with schools to help realise the creative potential of all learners and to make learning more engaging and effective through creative approaches.

Following a successful recruitment process, Cre8us are pleased to be working with four new Creative Agents this year, bringing our Agent team to 20!
