Board Member

BYMT are committed to creating an inclusive culture in all our activities. We are keen to hear from a broad range of people, especially those with an enthusiasm for creating engagement opportunities for young people from all backgrounds; a love of new work, especially in the musicals sector, would be warmly welcome. We value diverse lived experiences and are committed to expanding our Board to better reflect the varied perspectives of the young people we support. We particularly encourage applications from individuals from global majority communities, as well as those with lived experience of disability or neurodiversity, who are currently underrepresented in our sector.

As a number of the current Trustees come to the end their terms, we need to revitalize the Board with potentially 4 new Trustees. We are particularly seeking Trustees with skills and experience across these areas:

• Yorkshire based, with knowledge of the local arts ecology
• A qualified accountant or proven experience in financial management
• HR / Marketing / PR experience
• An Environmental Champion, to take up the role of Board Lead for Environmental Responsibility
• Arts Education – experience within formal education, ideally at secondary level or above
• An arts employee, working within an Arts Council NPO context

New Trustees are given induction and support and previous experience on a board is not a necessity.
