Diversity
We believe that England’s rich and varied cultural identity can, and should be reflected through the arts, to increase understanding and enhance lives. Whoever you are, whatever your background, you can play your part. Working with a range of individuals, we believe that access to a variety of personalities, skills and outlooks enables us to truly represent England’s cultural identity. It is important that our staff reflect the communities we serve, therefore we take diversity seriously.
Our commitment to diversity is reflected in our attitude towards our employees. We will respect you as an individual. Our internal support and network groups, fair policies and practices are designed to include everyone’s perspective and expertise. We actively engage with Black and Minority Ethnic employees through a recognised Black Workers Group along with employees with disabilities through the Disabled Workers Group. Our commitment to equality for gay, lesbian and bisexual employees has been recognised externally and we have achieved a place in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index as one of 100 top employers for gay people in Britain.
Equal opportunities
We are committed to attracting and recruiting diverse candidates, and our benefits include a range of family leave policies.
All disabled candidates who meet our minimum (essential) criteria are guaranteed an interview.
