Please note that feedback will only be provided for candidates taken through to the interview stage.
We believe that representation matters; diversity of identity, of perspective, of lived experience enriches our work and our lives. We recognise that the Donmar and the wider theatre industry is not representative of contemporary society in terms of workforce, artists and audience. We particularly encourage applications from those who are currently under-represented both at the Donmar and more widely in the industry, and specifically from D/deaf or disabled, or neurodivergent applicants and applicants who experience barriers and inequity due to ethnicity, gender identity and/or socio-economic background.
Where application numbers allow, all disabled candidates who demonstrate that they meet the minimum criteria will be invited for an interview*
*Please note that there may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job. In certain recruitment situations such as high-volume we may limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.
In these circumstances we will select the disabled candidates who best meet the minimum criteria for the job rather than all of those that meet the minimum criteria as we would do for non-disabled applicants.
We are an active member of PIPA and a Disability Confident employer.
