ETT are a partner organisation of COMMON, an arts organisation which supports theatres to achieve greater socio-economic diversity. ETT recently attended COMMON’s ‘Routes in’ event which explored some of the socio-economic barriers to employment in the arts and ways in which organisations can improve inclusivity. Following the discussions from the event, ETT have decided to update all job descriptions to ensure that there are no barriers which may prevent a person applying. Examples of this are removing any reference to university qualifications and a passion for theatre. We are also ensuring that we are clear about the parameters of the job, and that all touring costs (including travel/accommodation/per diems) will be covered by ETT and are not incurred by the individual.
