Job Summary
Job Description
formidAbility is the UK’s only majority disability-led opera company. Our trailblazing work – putting accessibility at the heart of the creative process – is attracting interest from a number of major arts organisations.
We are looking for an experienced Co-Chair, and up to two further board members, with a passion for inclusion and a desire to contribute to arts-based social change.
While we welcome expressions of interest from people with creative backgrounds, it is not a prerequisite, but we do hope you will have one of the following skills to help govern the next stage of our development:
-
Arts governance experience
-
Lived experience of disability
-
Connections to potential funders
We welcome applicants based across the UK, but would be especially interested in hearing from people based in the West Midlands or with connections to the Birmingham cultural sector.
Location: online with a planned in-person annual Away Day (venue to be confirmed)
Closing date: 10am on Monday 7th July
Interviews will be during the week commencing 28th July at a mutually convenient time.
