Trustees

Apply before 12pm on Tuesday 26 October 2021

 

We are looking to appoint a number of new trustees to our Board, as four of our current trustees reach the end of their term.

The trustee positions are an opportunity to play a key role in the next stage of Middle Child’s journey, as we bounce back from a pandemic that has brought into sharper focus than ever before the fight for equality and the importance of the arts. This will be at the heart of our next application to continue as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.

We are especially keen to hear from people from backgrounds or characteristics underrepresented in the arts and on theatre boards. We encourage those who are uncertain if they are suitable or qualified to talk to us regardless. We recognise potential and take pride in giving people a platform to make a step-change in their career, and in their personal development.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in: 

  • Financial management 
  • Business management
  • Fundraising 
  • HR and legal 
  • Arts marketing and communications
  • Community engagement and participation 

These are unpaid posts, for an initial term of one to three years. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
