Creative Health Producer, London, UK
St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub seeks a Freelance Creative Health Producer to bring an exciting programme of work to life in the hub.
ABOUT ST GEORGE’S
St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub is one of the most exciting new health facilities in the country. Purpose-designed and opened in November 2024, it sits in landscaped grounds in Hornchurch, North East London, bringing together state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities, a GP practice, a dialysis unit, a healthy ageing centre, and more – all working as one, under a shared Integrated Services Model.
The hub’s founding vision is bold:
“To encourage, develop and maintain physical, mental and social health, wellbeing and independence.”
Creative Health sits at the heart of that vision – not an add-on, but a genuine pillar of care. It humanises the environment, supports recovery and prevention, keeps communities connected, and bridges the clinical and the creative in ways that benefit everyone. This exciting role is an opportunity to develop a model of Creative Health in Neighbourhood health centres that could be adopted and influence the broader Creative sector more widely.
THE CREATIVE HEALTH STRATEGY
To meet this vision the St George’s Partnership Board commissioned the development of a Creative Health Strategy that maps how this work will be embedded, sustained, and evaluated across three interconnected strands:
Environmental Enrichment
Clinical Priorities
Living, Working and Ageing Well
The Strategy aims to: support prevention, treatment, recovery and wellbeing; bind clinical and non-clinical approaches into an integrated model of care; and create a shared sense of identity, belonging, and purpose across the hub and the communities it serves.
THE ROLE
The role is part time (average 2.5 days per week), for two years, with an expectation at least 50% of that time is based at St George’s to develop, establish and embed the programme.
This is a hands-on, creative delivery and production role at the heart of St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. As Creative Health Producer, you will be the person who makes things happen – bringing artists, communities, clinical staff, and local organisations together to create a Creative Health Programme that is joyful, meaningful, high quality and genuinely embedded in the life of the hub.
You will work closely with the Creative Health Lead and report into the Partnership Board, with day-to-day responsibility for coordinating and project management activities across the three strands of the Creative Health Strategy. This role is for someone who loves working with artists, communities and senior stakeholders and knows how to get creative projects off the ground.
We’re looking for a creative producer with a genuine passion for arts and health – someone who is energised by collaboration, skilled at bringing people and projects together, and excited by the opportunity to do this work in a genuinely pioneering setting.
