On behalf of Historic Royal Palaces Learning & Engagement team, we would like to invite you to express your interest helping us developSensory Palaces, one of our new flagship adult learning programmes.
Sensory Palaces is a health and wellbeing programme for adults with dementia, mental health issues and learning disabilities.
We are inviting expressions of interest from freelance artists, creative facilitators, or creative companies who are experienced in developing and delivering sensory-based therapeutic activities for our Sensory Palaces audience. We are particularly interested in individuals who work with sound and music or visual arts practitioners able to engage multiple senses.
Interested parties must have a successful track record of working creatively with adults with dementia, mental health issues or learning disabilities in sensory based projects within the cultural or care settings.
The programme will eventually be delivered in a multitude of formats but for the initial pilot period, we envision the format to be 90 minute sessions.
The session needs to be tailored to the needs of the specific audience group and take into consideration specific sensory opportunities of our palaces. Whilst sessions may initially be designed for one audience group facilitators need to factor in how the session would be adapted for the other two audience groups.
Successful Freelancers will be paid accordingly:
- £125.00 per day for development, including writing toolkit for delivery, session outline
- £250.00 per day for delivery
HRP will cover reasonable costs for resources and materials, to be agreed before purchases.
Freelancers may be invited to develop more than one session.
Should you be interested in getting involved with the project, please send us an updated CV highlighting your relevant skills and experience and a one page covering letter outlining your approach to engaging adults living with dementia, mental health issues and/or learning disabilities through sensory activities. When responding, please use subject line: Sensory Palaces Opportunity/Your Name.
The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is Monday 30 June 2014.
