At Bradford Producing Hub, we are committed to inclusivity in everything we do. It’s not just important in the artists we support but ensuring the team we build is as representative of the people of Bradford as possible. We particularly encourage applications from people from the global majority, who are LGBTQIA+, disabled, and/or from working-class or low socio-economic backgrounds. This is because people from these groups are still underrepresented in the arts, and we are committed to challenging this and contributing to positive change.
Bradford Producing Hub (BPH) is an artist-led development organisation that supports creatives in all art forms and at any stage of their career to develop their skills and to create and produce new work.
BPH aims to make Bradford a vibrant creative district, with a thriving and sustainable arts sector. Our programme is needs-led and everyone in the team is involved in planning, designing and helping to meet the needs we identify through sharing our skills and supporting ideas and people to grow.

To ensure fairness and inclusivity, we do not anonymise applications before shortlisting candidates, and we reference equality data to balance our shortlist.
This means when we shortlist, we always interview the highest-scoring applicants and may also consider including lower-scoring candidates if we feel there is an imbalance in representation from underrepresented groups. We acknowledge that writing a ‘high-scoring’ application can be a barrier for applicants from all backgrounds, especially those from underrepresented groups. We know application fluency doesn’t directly correlate with competency in the workplace and the ability to succeed in advertised roles. Sometimes, a chance to interview is all we need to really demonstrate our experience, skills and fit within an organisation.
We also know that not everybody’s strengths lie in interviewing. We therefore provide the interview questions in advance to everyone selected to interview, to give them the best opportunity to demonstrate their skills, experience and ideas. We may ask interviewees to prepare something in advance, and if this is the case we will do what we can to ensure you have enough time to prepare. We’ll also allow you to present in a way which suits you best.
At least two people will interview you, and we will aim to tell you who they are in advance. Sometimes a member of our Board is involved, or someone from outside of the company who can bring specialist expertise, perspective or knowledge into the selection process.
