Unity Theatre is seeking new Trustees – including a Treasurer – to join their Board and support the next chapter of their journey.
As they step into an exciting new era in 2025, Unity is looking to strengthen their Board of Trustees by appointing up to seven new members, including a Trustee with financial expertise who can also act as Treasurer.
Based in the heart of Liverpool, Unity Theatre is known for championing radical theatre, powerful storytelling, and diverse programming since the 1930s. Their mission is to amplify unheard voices, support boundary-pushing artists, and engage deeply with our community through bold, inclusive performance.
From January 2025, Unity welcomed a new leadership team: Eli Randle as Artistic Director and Eleanor Manson-Sawko as Executive Director, together shaping a fresh and ambitious vision for the future of the organisation.
They are particularly looking for:
Individuals with experience in:
Accountancy / finance
Business leadership
Commercial innovation
HR
Professional theatre practice (as a practitioner)
People who are excited to help shape the future of a creative organisation at the heart of Liverpool’s cultural scene
Voices and perspectives that reflect the rich diversity of our city and sector
The Treasurer Role
They are seeking someone with:
Knowledge and experience of financial management in small charities
Familiarity with fundraising and charity finance practice
Strong financial analysis skills
The ability to communicate financial matters clearly to a wider group
No previous board experience? That’s okay.
They’re looking for people who are passionate, thoughtful, and committed to making a difference. If you care about the arts and their role in community and social change, they want to hear from you.
This is a voluntary role, with a commitment to six Board meetings per year, plus relevant subcommittees and events. Appointments are for an initial term of three years, with the option to stand for a second term.
