About this Role

Equity is the UK trade union for professional performers and creative practitioners.

Equity is respected as one of the most powerful entertainment unions in the world, and at the heart of the UK trade union movement.

We are a growing union of around 50,000 members, proud of our strong organising and campaigning record. Our members are mostly freelance- with many working in greenfield and emerging areas in audio, videogames, dance and the light entertainment sectors. By contrast, most British TV, film and theatre are made on union agreements with minimum terms driving forward industry standards on everything from pay to dignity at work.

The Union has a team of staff in offices across the UK who have a wealth of experience and expertise when it comes to advice and representation. They are able to deal with the issues raised by members working in all areas of the industry whether it be a major feature film, a theatre in education show, radio voice overs, a circus act or any other live or recorded work.

Alongside reception duties, you’ll also be a key part of the Membership Team, processing applications, updating records, handling member communications and maintaining accurate data. If you’re calm under pressure, confident with IT, great with people and passionate about delivering excellent service, we’d love to hear from you.
