The Deputy Artistic Director will work closely with our Co-Artistic Directors to bring their artistic vision for the company to life and, with the Executive Director, other members of the Senior Leadership Team and wider team and partners, work to deliver this vision through our productions, public artworks and artist development programmes, including leading on specific projects of their own.As a company which has, from its inception, created pioneering work with artists from refugee and migrant backgrounds around the world, we are particularly interested in hearing from applicants with lived or close experience of displacement and migration.Our founders Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson continue to balance their roles as Co-Artistic Directors with their writing commitments (much of which is for Good Chance projects), working roughly one day per week outside of their writing with occasional longer periods focusing more solely on other projects.

It is also a time for creative generation as the close of 2024 marks the end of our 2022-2024 programme of delivery, meaning the Deputy Artistic Director will be central to the development and delivery of Good Chance’s ambitious artistic programme 2025-2027 and beyond. This will include developing our artist development strand of work and our next major international public artwork for 2026/27.
