Working with us

We are a small, friendly and committed staff team, working collaboratively with each other and a wide range of artists, creatives, specialist freelancers and organisations. Everyone’s contribution is valued.

We exist to support artists who question the world, challenge how we think, feel and behave, and explore what it is to be human, making work that breaks down barriers and connects us to each other. This informs our values, beliefs and ways of working. You can read more about our values and beliefs in What We Do.

For us, it’s essential to think and work in ways that are accessible, inclusive and sustainable. We are firmly committed to ongoing learning and purposeful action around these interconnected beliefs, which includes regularly reflecting on how we are doing and understanding that addressing systemic inequity and oppression is long-term work.

Each year, we set people-focused actions around access, inclusion and sustainability to drive our working practices forward, monitor our progress against these, and reflect honestly on their overall impact.

Anti-racism and recruitment

As part of our action planning around access, inclusion and sustainability, we continue to build on the Anti-Racism strategy work undertaken by Artsadmin since 2019. One of the outcomes of this work was to seek to address underrepresentation of people from the Global Majority* on the staff team and board of trustees through our recruitment approach.

Our recruitment approach

Everyone is welcome to apply for opportunities with us. Artsadmin is an equal opportunities employer.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people who identify as D/deaf and/or disabled, people from low socio-economic backgrounds, and people from the Global Majority. We know that people who hold these identities face multiple barriers to entering and staying in the UK arts sector and are underrepresented in our workforces, in our programmes and on our boards.

During recruitment processes, we make the following commitments:

• Anyone considering making an application is welcome to have a conversation with us in advance (contact recruitment@artsadmin.co.uk or 020 7247 5102 to arrange this)
• We always accept applications in a range of formats including written, video and voice recordings
• For all employment roles, we offer guaranteed interviews to anyone who can demonstrate they meet the minimum criteria as outlined in the recruitment pack, who tells us that they are D/deaf, disabled and/or from the Global Majority. We will be clear in the pack about what we mean by minimum criteria
• There is always the option of first interviews taking place online
• We offer to cover your UK travel expenses for second interviews
• Every application and expression of interest gets a response from us
• We send interview formats and questions in advance
• There is at least one person who identifies as from the Global Majority on an interview panel for each role
• We offer an opportunity to meet some of the team at interview stage to give insight into the organisational culture, as well as a chance to ask questions outside of interviews
• Every interviewee gets tailored feedback on request
• We welcome your suggestions for any other ways of removing barriers for applicants, and we will always consider these

* By Global Majority we mean people who identify as Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’. (Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, 2020)
