About Us
Complicité is an international touring theatre company and charity, under the creative leadership of Artistic Director and co-founder Simon McBurney. Over four decades, we have played in more than 40 countries and won more than 50 awards. Through our live productions, streamed work and education and engagement, millions of people have encountered the work of “the most influential and consistently interesting theatre company working in Britain” (The Times).
We believe that experiencing extraordinary culture can transform people; inspiring creativity,delight, imagination and political action. For this reason, we strive to create art of exceptional quality, ambition and innovation, driven by brilliant ideas, and use this to engage the widest range of audiences and participants through the power of creativity, both in the UK and internationally.
Complicité’s recent work includes: the dance trilogy Figures in Extinction, a major new collaboration between Simon McBurney and Choreographer Crystal Pite with Nederlands Dans Theater, which premiered at Factory International in February and is currently on a European tour, the reimagined Mnemonic which played at the National Theatre in 2024, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead which achieved rave notices, toured internationally and was seen by over 78,000 people, Can I Live? a vital new digital performance about the climate catastrophe conceived, written and performed by Fehinti Balogun, The Encounter, as well as The Dark is Rising; an audio drama for BBC World Service and BBC Sounds based on Susan Cooper’s cult novel.
We take our responsibility as one of the UK’s most celebrated theatre companies seriously and are motivated not solely to create our own productions, but also to share what we’ve learnt and created with other artists, particularly those currently underrepresented in the arts. The familiarity of our name enables us to reach diverse communities across the UK and internationally, and through our engagement and education work, we empower those we connect with to embrace collaboration and risk-taking as vital to a creative, fulfilling life.
Alongside Simon McBurney’s work we support artists through our ‘Mudlarks’ strand, widening access and pro-actively seeking to support talented artists who are underrepresented in the theatre sector.
Our award-winning Creative Engagement programme includes professional development, work in schools and colleges and participatory projects with a range of communities.
Action on the Climate and Ecological Emergency is a burning thread running through all of our work and we have played a key role in Culture Declares Emergency, as well as in developing the Theatre Green Book.
2025 marks the company’s 42nd year.
Context, Opportunities and Challenges of Making and Touring Theatre in 2025
Complicité is a world-renowned national and international touring company with an immense repertoire of outstanding quality alongside the aspiration for a varied, pioneering and highly engaging future programme. It has healthy reserves and a growing slate of ambitious work across a variety of art forms.
But the costs of creating such theatre have sky-rocketed and the marketplace for touring theatre is still uncertain after Covid, even for Complicité.
The company is embracing the need for reinvention in order to guarantee its future. At the same time, we have taken the opportunity provided by Arts Council England's NPO-Transfer programme to build that change into the process of business transformation which is necessary for all arts organisations in the coming years.
With an ethos and way of working established over 40 years of practice, Complicité is a company that never stands still.

Are you passionate about building a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient economy? Are you looking for a meaningful way to use your finance expertise?
ECU is a small, dynamic non-profit working to transform the economy so that everyone has the freedom and security to live a good life.
ECU’s board members are responsible for ensuring that ECU is well-run and delivers on our ambition to accelerate the transition to a fair, sustainable and resilient economy. They are responsible for fulfilling the legal duties of a Company Director, as set out by Companies House. Although ECU is not a charity, it is focused on delivering a public purpose, so most aspects of the role are similar to that of a charity trustee role.
We are now recruiting for ECU’s first Treasurer, who will lead at board level on monitoring ECU’s financial performance and sustainability, ensuring that we have robust financial policies and processes in place, and supporting other board members to fulfil their collective responsibilities around finance.
This is an exciting time to join ECU. We have an ambitious vision for change, a strong analysis of the opportunities and barriers to progress, and a clear view of our role in building a better economy. Our board is committed, collaborative and inclusive, with a strong understanding of its role and remit, and a culture of open dialogue. Our work is challenging, fascinating, and fulfilling – and, with rising levels of inequality, an unfolding climate emergency, overstretched public services and a growing concentration of corporate power, it couldn’t be more important.
Thank you!

Who we are:
Kids is on a mission to create a world where all kinds of kids have all kinds of opportunities.
Founded in 1970, we have grown into a national organisation supporting over 22,000 children, young people and families each year across England.
We are on an ambitious journey to reach at least 120,000 disabled children, young people and their families each year by 2027. Our vision is bold yet achievable: a society where disabled children, young people and their families enjoy equal rights and opportunities.

Time Commitment
This role is about more than simply being available—it’s about being genuinely engaged. We're hoping to find someone who feels inspired to make this a meaningful part of their journey.

You’ll bring your unique perspective to enhance our culture—not just fit into it. You’ll contribute to a dynamic board that balances strategic scrutiny, inclusive leadership, and good governance with genuine care and collaboration.

- A passion for disability rights, equity, and inclusion
- A commitment to empowering diverse voices
- A collaborative spirit and systems-thinking mindset
We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of disability, those from underrepresented communities, and individuals who reflect the diversity of the families and children we serve.
Our Culture
At Kids, we celebrate what makes each of us unique. Our culture is rooted in care, collaboration, creativity, and professionalism. We actively listen and strive to ensure everyone we work with feels heard, respected, and included.
We are committed to breaking down systemic barriers, including racism, ableism, sexism, and other forms of injustice. This is an ongoing journey, and we’re dedicated to learning and growing together.
We are committed to making our recruitment process accessible. If you need information in an alternative format or adjustments at any stage, please contact us —we’d love to hear how we can support you.
In Closing
You’ll be joining a brilliant team of Trustees, a passionate leadership team, and an organisation ready for change. Together, we’ll help build a world where disabled children and young people are celebrated for who they are and supported to reach their full potential.
This isn’t just a role. It’s a chance to reimagine what’s possible.
Join us. Lead with us. Grow with us.
