Working at Arts Council England

We employ more than 500 people in nine offices across England.

We believe that England’s rich and varied cultural identity can and should be reflected through the arts, increasing understanding and enhancing lives.

We believe that our staff should represent the communities, organisations and individuals that we work with and support. We want people from all walks of life to contribute to our work and share their experience, expertise and passion.
