  • Recruitment & Selection Process

    Our aim at all times is to hire the person who is most suited to the job. Recruitment will be on the basis of the applicant’s abilities and individual merits, measured against the job criteria and competencies.

    Equality, Diversity & Inclusion 

    The Theatre School recognises the positive value of diversity, promoting equality and challenging unfair discrimination. We welcome applications from those currently underrepresented in our workforce and across the wider arts and training sectors: these include, but are not limited to, people who are culturally and ethnically diverse and experience racism in our society, those with LGBTQ+ identities, neurodivergent and/or D/deaf and disabled, those with caring responsibilities and those who have experience socio and economic barriers.

    We will not discriminate or tolerate discriminatory behaviour on the grounds of age, disability, educational background, gender, employment status, ethnic origin, marital / partnership or family status, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, social class, transgender, working pattern or any other irrelevant factor in any aspect of employment.

    Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is committed to employing disabled people, and reasonable adjustments will be made to the recruitment procedure to ensure that no-one is disadvantaged because of their disability. If a disabled person is appointed, reasonable adjustments will be made to the workplace as far as possible, including premises & equipment, duties, practices or policies.

    Selection & Assessment

    A range of methods will be used at the interview stage to assess candidates against objective job criteria contained in the job description and employee competencies applicable to the role. The purpose is to accurately predict a candidate’s ability to perform the job in question. All interviews will be undertaken by a panel of two or more people, and we will endeavour for the panel to be representative of society. Selection panels will keep written notes on each applicant recording reasons for decisions taken. These are disclosable to the applicant. All disabled applicants (as defined by the Equality Act 2010) who meet the essential criteria as defined in the job description will be guaranteed an interview.

    As part of our commitment to improving the diversity of our workforce. Where two candidates are equally scored following interview or assessment, positive action will be taken and we may appoint a candidate with a protected characteristic which is underrepresented within the Theatre School.
