Are you passionate about producing high-quality and inclusive poetry projects and events?

At Manchester Metropolitan University, we believe in working together as one. We are proud to create amazing spaces where colleagues can do their best work and thrive. Join our diverse team that supports each other and is dedicated to excellence.

Our department of Library & Cultural Services is seeking a dynamic Poetry Project Coordinator to join the team. In this position, you will work with poets, students and a wide range of partners to play a pivotal role in supporting poetry and literature events with Manchester Poetry Library that are open to all.

About the Role:

As the Poetry Project Coordinator you will coordinate a series of events at the intersection of contemporary poetry, public engagement, and digital innovation in collaboration with Manchester Writing School, its Creative director Carol Ann Duffy, the wider professoriate and faculty, and the UK's first university-located Poetry Library including: new poetry podcast series developed in collaboration with faculty and Manchester Poetry Library colleagues; a programme of evening poetry events featuring live readings and performances; visual poetry projections in public and university spaces; and continuing to grow the successful Manchester Translation Series.

You will contribute to supporting students, academics and partners to foster a positive work culture, and help shape a vibrant programme of events open to all.

Your responsibilities will include:

Ensure the professional delivery of high-quality poetry and literature activities in collaboration with Manchester Poetry Library and the Poetry Research Group at Manchester Met.
Project management including planning, delivery and evaluation of poetry events and activities.
Provide effective and efficient administrative support including contracting.
Provide an excellent, accessible and inclusive experience to stakeholders and customer.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual who:

Has experience, interest and enthusiasm for working within poetry, literature and cultural environment.
Thrives in a fast-paced and inclusive environment.
Is experienced in customer care, quality service and operational management.
Is an experienced project manager with excellent communication, and interpersonal skills.
Is passionate about promoting inclusive poetry and arts events.

Hybrid working is offered for this role, where you will be able to work a proportion of time on campus and a proportion remotely. We recognise the benefits and importance of an environment that supports flexible working and are open to conversations throughout the application process.

Why join our Library & Cultural Services?

You will join a passionate and empowered team and an innovative and evolving library service.

This is an exciting time to become part of our team, as we prepare for our Library Transformation Programme (LTP) and look ahead to a new landmark library building and reimagined service.

Join a community that values collaboration and mutual support. Be part of a team where you can thrive and make a difference.

To apply:

Please submit your CV and Cover Letter, outlining your suitability to the role.

The closing date for this is 9th June at midnight.

Please note: Interviews are provisionally set to take place on Thursday 25 June 2026.

Due to high application volumes, only submissions with cover letters may be considered at shortlisting.

At Manchester Metropolitan University Library, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that centres diversity and promotes equality. We actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or religion.

We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce enhances our ability to meet the diverse needs of our academic community. As the Poetry Project Coordinator, you will play a pivotal role in championing equality and diversity, contributing to a positive and respectful workplace culture.

We are working on making our recruitment process as inclusive as we can and welcome any queries or feedback.

Manchester Metropolitan University fosters an inclusive culture of belonging that promotes equity and celebrates diversity. We value a diverse workforce for the innovation and diversity of thought it brings and welcome applications from all local and international communities, including Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
