notes for applicants

We are a Real Living Wage accredited employer.

At New Brewery Arts we are looking for people who reflect the diversity of our communities to help us work in new ways and become more relevant to the diversity of people and communities we serve. This is not present in our current workforce, so we particularly encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and life experience.

We ask for your data in order to process applications. You can read our privacy policy for job applicants here. We also ask applicants to complete an Equal Opportunities monitoring form, but this is voluntary. We ask that this is completed separately and posted to us to ensure it is only used for monitoring the diversity of applicants and does not form part of the application data you give us.

OUR TEAM

New Brewery Arts’ small staff team have a wealth of experience and all share a passion for craft and making. This team is supported by our Trustees, and works together with our on-site makers and tutors.
