The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations’ (SCVO) HR for Creatives programme, supported by Creative Scotland, is back for 2026, offering free HR support and development to arts, screen and creative industries employers for 12 months.
They know that organisations want to create working environments where people can thrive in the creative industries. But budgets are tight, people are busy, and dedicated HR expertise isn’t always accessible.
The HR for Creatives programme will offer 35 organisations:
– an HR health check of policies and procedures
– one-to-one expert HR and people management advice from SCVO’s HR Service team
– webinars, peer-to-peer learning and networking.
Applications are now open until 12 noon, Mon 16 February 2026, for micro to small sized arts, screen and creative industries organisations based in Scotland with no in-house HR, or specialist HR support.
If you took part in HR for Creatives in 2023 and 2024, you’re welcome to apply again if you’re working on new policies and procedures or if you have new priorities.
For further information, please contact hrservice@scvo.scot (Lorna Robertson), call 0800 169 0022 or visit https://scvo.scot/services/hr/for-creatives.
