Values & Inclusion

    • Empowering the people we work with to participate, share and learn
    • Trusted and relied on by the people and partners we work with
    • Welcoming in everything we say and do – going further to reach those less able to participate
    • Imaginative in the approaches we take to plan, deliver and evaluate our programmes

  • We are an equal opportunity employer and are dedicated to achieving the highest standards of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, beliefs, customs, traditions, and ways of life. This includes, but is not limited to, race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, national or social origin, health status, and economic or social situation.

    We are committed to building an inclusive team that shares a passion for the charity’s 60-year legacy inspiring life-changing art. Every time we add staff or volunteers to our small team it’s an opportunity for us to bring in a new perspective, and to better represent the diverse range of participants and audiences we attract. We strongly encourage candidates of all backgrounds and identities to apply for roles in our team.

  • We have a guaranteed interview scheme for people with recent lived-experience of the criminal justice system and offer guaranteed interviews for paid roles to those who have been in prison or on a community sentence in the last 5 years and who meet all the ‘essential’ person specification criteria. If you’d like to use this, please see the application form for the role you are applying for. You can also read how we consider unspent convictions.
