We’re seeking: new Trustees

Complicité is seeking new Trustees to guide and support us in creating exceptional cultural experiences that transform people, inspiring creativity, delight, imagination and political action. We welcome individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds who will challenge and inspire us with their insight, expertise and lived experience. You don’t need to come from a theatre background, simply have a demonstrable passion for the work Complicité does.

We are particularly interested in hearing expressions of interest from people able to bring expertise in the following areas:

• Commercial Producing
• International Touring
• Production Management
• Financial and Business Management
• Fundraising
• Filmmaking
• Creative Engagement, Learning and Education
• Sustainability
• Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Location: Complicité is based in Gloucestershire and London, but – in line with our touring ethos – we welcome applications from those based around the country if they are willing to travel to four meetings a year and other associated events.

Commitment: Board meetings take place on a quarterly basis, usually 6.30pm-8.30pm at our offices in London, or online. We also have one annual Board Away Day.

Access: We are committed to ensuring accessibility for all board members. Our meetings can take place in step-free venues as required. We can provide BSL interpretation, large print or audio board papers, or other access support. We will work with Trustees to meet any access needs. New Trustees will receive an induction/welcome pack and are provided with relevant training if required.

Length of term: Trustees are appointed initially for three years and then normally eligible for two consecutive terms of three years before retirement.

Salary: Unremunerated, with reasonable expenses paid.

Applications are now closed.

We actively encourage applications from people who are under represented in the arts, including people from the Global Majority, people with a disability, D/deaf people, neurodivergent people, people from working-class backgrounds and LGBTQIA+ people. We are committed to ensuring our board reflects the diversity of the society we live in and to removing barriers to participation.

We welcome first-time Trustees and will provide mentoring and training as needed. We value both professional expertise and lived experience, and we are particularly interested to hear from prospective board members who live and work in the South West of England, where we have recently relocated as part of the Arts Council’s NPO-Transfer programme.
