We are looking for someone to join our organisation who is passionate about equality and representation. You will be looking for an opportunity to contribute to creating positive change within the arts and culture sector.

Our Equalities & Representation Action Plan captures all the actions that we consider will have a material impact on who we are as an organisation. It is a guiding document, rather than a defining one. As events of the last couple of years have taught us, remaining open and adaptable in our equalities work ensures we meet the most important needs in this area.

The role reports directly into our HR Director and will work collaboratively within the People & Culture team, whilst also maintaining a supportive working relationship with colleagues across MIF/The Factory to harness and help develop the overall programme of Equalities.

• Co-ordinating a programme of education and awareness sessions for staff that responds to the needs of the Equalities Representation Groups (ERGs)

• Co-ordinate the delivery of our proprietary training framework around Cultural Competency

• Undertake people surveys around equalities and organisational culture, and evaluate and deliver feedback and results to the organisation

• Promote, manage, and maintain the reciprocal mentoring scheme

Analyse and report data and insights around representation to make recommendations for adjustments back to the organisation

• Have ownership alongside ERGs and Leadership Group for successful delivery of sector leadership and advocacy actions, including attendance at key events and conferences where required

Knowledge, skills, experience
