The Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse theatres are a local artistic force with national significance and an international reputation. Operated by the Liverpool and Merseyside Theatres Trust Limited (LMTT), our two theatres are united by our passion for our art-form, our love of our city and our belief that theatre can transform lives. We believe our theatres can be a vital focus for the communities in the Liverpool City Region, telling stories which are compelling locally and nationally, supporting and attracting talent and contributing to Liverpool’s reputation as one of the country’s most vibrant cultural cities.

We are now looking for a new member to join our Diversity Action Group (DAG), established in 2020, as a co-opted member.

The purpose of the DAG is to:

· advise the Liverpool & Merseyside Theatres Trust (LMTT) Board on matters pertaining to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) including intersectionality across protected characteristics and socio-economic factors.

· consider appropriate initiatives to progress work that promotes EDI and make recommendations to the LMTT Board accordingly

· review specific aspects of EDI where the LMTT Board requires additional scrutiny and assurance

We are specifically interested in hearing from those that identify as deaf, disabled or neurodivergent under the Social Model of Disability or who have faced barriers to their career progressing due to access needs not being met.

The DAG will meet quarterly during 2026 and meetings will generally be two hours in length. The meeting dates are as follows (all meetings commence at 4pm):

Tuesday 3 March
Tuesday 2 June
Tuesday 8 September
Tuesday 1 December

Co-opted members will be paid an honorarium for their involvement of £100 per meeting. Meetings will be hybrid (i.e. conducted both in person and virtually).

Co-opted members will serve on the DAG for three years.

We are keen for the DAG to reflect the diversity of the communities which we serve, and welcome interest from individuals who can bring their unique perspective from different backgrounds, behaviours, personality, artistic tastes, life experiences and beliefs. We particularly encourage Expressions of Interest from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, women, disabled people and from people under the age of 40.

If you have the relevant skills and wish to play your part in the future success of our Theatres we would love to hear from you. Please email your CV along with a short expression of interest letter to boardrecruitment@everymanplayhouse.com by noon on Friday 31 January.
