Deadline for applications: 26th February 2023

Trigger are shapeshifting creatives who dream-up, create and produce bold and brave live and digital events. We reimagine and revive public spaces, and put audiences and togetherness at the heart of everything we do. Our work is accessible, inclusive and boundary pushing, and is often large-scale and often outdoors. We create epic, imaginative spaces, fly giant dragons and grow magical pop-up gardens.

Trigger’s vision is brought to life by diverse teams of cross-disciplinary artists and creatives and aims to shine a spotlight on the creativity of local communities. We use our platform to showcase new, emerging and inspiring talent. When we are handed the microphone, we use it to highlight issues that are important to us all, even if they are difficult to navigate. Trigger is for everyone, and everyone is invited.

​​​We are looking for an individual who can bring expertise and commitment to our already amazing board of trustees and help guide us through this growth. We want our Trustees to bring a broad range of viewpoints and experience; some will already have worked with Boards (either as a Trustee or as an Executive), and some may be joining a Board for the first time.

 The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:

• Expertise in Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
• Excellent communication skills as well as the ability to listen and respect the ideas of others
• A team-oriented approach to problem-solving and management.

​​​​​​​If you wish to apply for this position, please supply a detailed CV, 2 referees and your cover letter (maximum 2 sides) highlighting your suitability for the role and how you meet the person specification telling us:

• Why you would like to join the Board.
• What you think you would bring to the Board of Trustees and how your skills could support the Board and team.
• A bit about yourself; the work you do and your previous experience.

​​​​​​​Please note that the covering letter is an important part of your application and will be assessed.
