Equity
Equity is the UK trade union for professional performers and creative practitioners. Equity is respected as one of the most powerful entertainment unions in the world, and at the heart of the UK trade union movement. We are a growing union of around 50,000 members, proud of our strong organising and campaigning record. Our members are mostly freelance - with many working in greenfield and emerging areas in audio, videogames, dance and the light entertainment sectors. By contrast, most British TV, film and theatre are made on union agreements with minimum terms driving forward industry standards on everything from pay to dignity at work. The Union has a team of staff in offices across the UK who have a wealth of experience and expertise when it comes to advice and representation. They are able to deal with the issues raised by members working in all areas of the industry whether it be a major feature film, a theatre in education show, radio voice overs, a circus act or any other live or recorded work.
Equity is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all backgrounds who believe they fit the essential requirements for the job.
The Role

They will lead on work related to Equity’s arts policies such as: Performing Arts for All, the BBC Charter, the review of the Arts Council England and will be a point of contact for some policy-related industry bodies.
The postholder will lead in developing the union’s knowledge base to advance our industrial agenda. Using their analytical skills, Equity members’ insights and experiences, and collaboration with colleagues and external partners, they will produce a programme of union policy, research and analysis that will support industrial colleagues to win for our members, influence political debate and have media impact.
Successful applicants will have several years' experience in policy or research teams, particularly in the labour movement or creative industries. They will be detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy in assessing complex information, excellent analytical skills, project management abilities, and a familiarity with the UK political system.
