Peckham Platform is reaching an exciting new phase in its development. A creative and educational charity based in Peckham, south London, Peckham Platform brings local communities together with leading artists to co-produce social art that responds directly to the needs and concerns of the people involved. In summer 2027 we will move to a permanent home on Peckham Square, designed as a space for connection for everyone in Peckham, putting culture and creativity at the heart of our area’s future recovery.

Construction work on the Council-owned building, which has been designed by local architects Knox Bhavan and incorporates a newly refurbished 91-93 Peckham High Street, is set to begin in early 2026. London Borough of Southwark (LBS) will fund and oversee the construction process, with Peckham Platform, supported by Arts Council England (ACE), assuming responsibility for the internal fit out.

We are now looking for a highly experienced consultant, with an ability to operate at both strategic and operational level, to oversee and advise on various aspects of the capital project development. This includes day to day project management for the Peckham Platform-funded building fit out, business planning, creative programme development and community stakeholder engagement. Key external stakeholders will include LBS, Knox Bhavan architects, the building and design contractors as well as the local community. We want to ensure that the voices of local artists, young people, community groups, schools, and stakeholders are embedded in the capital project, supporting an inclusive and dynamic cultural space that meets local needs.

Application deadline: 12 noon Monday 5 January 2026

Being a small charity we rely on skilled and professional people who have the capacity and willingness to donate their time, knowledge and skills to support our cause, vision and mission. At a time of significant change and growth, we are seeking to grow and diversify our skill set as a team of committed people. As an Advisor for Peckham Platform, you will have the opportunity to make a real impact on the organisation as we move into our new building in 2027.
