We’re now looking for a Placemaking Creative Producer, working on the Isle of Wight, Gosport, Havant and Portsmouth. You’ll be working with four other Placemaking Creative Producers, each working in a different Priority Place.

We’ll be sharing our learning far and wide, advocating for others to put young peoples’ voices at the heart of their local development.  

In year 1, this role will be working principally on the Isle of Wight with some activity in Gosport and Havant.
