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 artform, 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 two individuals to join our Diversity Action Group (DAG), established in 2020, as co-opted members.

The purpose of the DAG is to:
• advise the Liverpool & Merseyside Theatres Trust (LMTT) Board on matters pertaining to
Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and Social Justice
• consider appropriate initiatives to progress work that promotes Equality, Inclusion and
Social Justice and make recommendations to the LMTT Board accordingly​​​​
• review specific aspects of Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and Social Justice where the LMTT
Board requires additional scrutiny and assurance

For the first two years of its existence, the DAG has focussed its efforts on ethnic diversity but we are now looking to widen its focus to include accessibility. Therefore, 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 2023 and meetings will generally be two hours in length. The meeting dates are as follows:

• Tuesday 21st March 2023, 4-6pm
• Tuesday 6th June 2023, 4-6pm
• Tuesday 12th September 2023, 4-6pm
• Tuesday 5th December 2023, 4-6pm 

Co-opted members will be paid an honorarium for their involvement based on LMTT’s daily freelancer rate (currently £175 per day), pro-rata’d to reflect time commitment. Meetings will be hybrid (i.e. conducted both in person and virtually). Co-opted members will serve on the DAG for one year initially.

For more information on LMTT and the work we do both on stage and in our local community please visit www.everymanplayhouse.com

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 [email protected] by noon on Friday 3 March.

We are trying to make our application process as open and accessible as possible, so if you are experiencing any barriers to accessing the information, and would like this information in a different format, or would like to submit your application in a different way, then please contact our recruitment team via the email address [email protected], or by calling us on 0151 706 9113. We are always happy to discuss any requirements that candidates may have as a disabled person; someone with parental or caring responsibilities; or other reasons, and we will always try to make any adjustments possible to make participation easier.
