Including everyone
RWA recognises that each of us bring our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique perspective to what we do. You may not have direct experience of a cultural organisation but you may have relevant experience in a different setting.
We believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity and welcome applications from those who bring balance to our organisation. We, therefore, welcome applications from people with characteristics currently under-represented in our governance and will offer an interview to those who meet our minimum requirements and are global majority (including multi/dual mixed heritage); identify as non-binary, trans and/or LGBTQ+; have a recognised disability, or are neurodiverse.
Inclusive recruitment’s aim is to remove barriers for people included in the above description, so that they have a more equitable opportunity of being invited for interview if they meet essential/desirable criteria.
