Equal opportunities policy

We are committed to ensuring equality and fairness for all employees, collaborators, contractors and the general public. We will not discriminate on grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or age. We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination and will work to promote opportunities for sections of the community that are currently under-represented.

All individuals will be treated fairly and with respect. Selection for employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be on the basis of aptitude and ability. All employees will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be fully utilised to maximise the organisation’s output.

We strive to create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all our staff are recognised and valued. No form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated.

We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, especially those currently less represented in our organisation, the arts industry and on our stages. We are particularly interested to receive applications for this role from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people, those who identify as deaf and disabled people, neurodivergent people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to enable applicants to participate in the selection process, and for the successful applicant to carry out their role.

We will regularly review our employment practices and procedures to ensure fairness. This policy has the approval of the Board and will be reviewed on an annual basis.
