Job Summary

Zoo Co is offering two deaf and / or disabled people the chance to observe our next two Board meetings, supported by our Board Support Worker.

Job Description

Zoo Co is keen to introduce more deaf and / or disabled people to the practicalities of being a Trustee with an arts organisation. We recognise that volunteer Trusteeships aren't always accessible to deaf and disabled people, so we've set up this programme as a way to change that.

We'd like to offer two people the chance to observe each of our next two Board meetings, supported by our Board Support Worker.

Dates:
Tues 19 May 2026, 6pm - 8pm
Tues 18 August 2026, 6pm - 8pm

Meetings are usually held at the National Theatre (Central London) in person, though people can join remotely as needed.

You can apply to observe both meetings, or just one (ie. between 2 and 4 people will be selected to take part in this work). Please indicate in your application which dates you're able to do.

Fee:
£100 per meeting, including prep and debrief time, equivalent to 0.5 day's work in total across 2 weeks. Expenses like travel and childcare costs may also be reimbursed. Payable on receipt of invoice, after the debrief has taken place.

Access support matching your requirements will be provided - you can give us an Access Rider, or have a one-to-one with our Creative Access Director to talk more about what you need.
