Check out our jobs board below to find out about current opportunities at Manchester Pride.
Manchester Pride is one of the UK's leading LGBTQ+ charities. Our vision is a world where LGBTQ+ people are free to live and love without prejudice. We are committed to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people in Greater Manchester and beyond. We are part of a global Pride movement that celebrates advancements in equality and challenges discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people.
We are taking positive action to encourage applications from people of colour (PoC) and other racially minoritised communities, trans, non-binary and/or gender diverse people, disabled and/or neurodivergent people, and older people (aged 50+) to improve the representation of colleagues from these communities in our team.
Parade Entry Artist
We are currently looking for a highly driven and experienced Artist to take Manchester Pride’s Parade theme and bring the concept to life.
The Manchester Pride Parade started in 1985 and in 2016, Manchester Pride opened its entry to members of the Greater Manchester LGBTQ+ community to join by walking at the front of the Parade. The artist will be responsible for the visual aspect of the Parade and should be experienced in Parade art and costume design or working with costume designers. The lead entry (parade float) must be people or pedal powered so any big make will need to be robust yet light enough to be pushed or carried along the route.
Our 2024 theme is ‘Buzzin’ to be Queer - A Hive of Progress’. This theme encapsulates a powerful and visually impactful concept that not only aligns with Manchester Pride’s core values, but also promises to be captivating for our diverse audience. It celebrates the absolute joy of being queer and the collective progress we've made as a community. In these times of adversity, it has never been more important for us to come together as a hive; celebrating and championing not only our victories, but the resilience, love, and progress that define us.
