We acknowledge the gender imbalance within technical professions, not only in our organisation but in the sector. For these reasons, we are actively encouraging applications from people identifying as female. Under the Equality Act 2010, a disabled person is someone who has - or has had in the past - a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on that person's ability to carry out standard day-to-day activities. As an inclusive organisation, we actively encourage applications from people who consider themselves to have a disability falling within that broad definition. We will guarantee an interview for applicants living with a disability, provided they meet the essential criteria. Where relevant, this should be indicated on your equal opportunities form which will be anonymised and attached to your redacted application. We have made steps to remove barriers to our workplace, including ensuring a physically accessible studio. If it is helpful or reassuring to discuss your access needs ahead of applying so you can gauge if this is an accessible place for you to work, please get in touch on Acknowledging the resources that go into attending interviews, we are very happy to reimburse travel expenses incurred through travelling to/ from the interview with us.

What may have been acceptable a short time ago is not sufficient for the future - we are dedicating time and resources to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected, particularly those who are often excluded or under-represented. If you feel that you do not see yourself represented either in the cultural sector or in this particular professional area because of any part of your identity that makes you special, we would especially like to hear from you. We acknowledge the gender imbalance within technical professions, not only in our organisation but in the sector. For these reasons, we are actively encouraging applications from people identifying as female. Under the Equality Act 2010, a disabled person is someone who has - or has had in the past - a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on that person's ability to carry out standard day-to-day activities. As an inclusive organisation, we actively encourage applications from people who consider themselves to have a disability falling within that broad definition. We will guarantee an interview for applicants living with a disability, provided they meet the essential criteria. Where relevant, this should be indicated on your equal opportunities form which will be anonymised and attached to your redacted application. We have made steps to remove barriers to our workplace, including ensuring a physically accessible studio. If it is helpful or reassuring to discuss your access needs ahead of applying so you can gauge if this is an accessible place for you to work, please get in touch on Acknowledging the resources that go into attending interviews, we are very happy to reimburse travel expenses incurred through travelling to/ from the interview with us.
