Norfolk & Norwich Festival welcomes applicants from a wide mix of people. We are really interested in hearing from people who possess transferable skills but might not have worked in the professional arts sector before. We also welcome applicants from a wide mix of people because we want our workforce to be inclusive of people from a diverse range of backgrounds. We are therefore particularly interested in receiving applications from people who identify as disabled, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and people from socio-economic backgrounds that are currently under-represented in the arts.
