Mermaids has evolved into one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities, empowering thousands of people with its secure online communities, local community groups, helpline services, web resources, events, training, legal support, policy and stakeholder engagement and residential weekends.

We also seek to educate and inform wider society on gender identity by helping professionals accommodate and reassure gender diverse young people.

There’s no other organisation like Mermaids. Whatever you do here you will be supporting our work to achieve our mission and make positive change for trans people for generations to come. In return, we recognise and value our people. You'll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a contributory pension and good holiday entitlement.

About Fourth Monkey:

A drama school, arts organisation and registered charity based in North London, Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company was founded in 2010 and are now recruiting for a variety of new roles within their core office team to support their ongoing growth and evolution.

It’s an exciting time to be joining the Fourth Monkey team; since marking our 10-year anniversary in 2020 whereby our two-year training course was successfully accredited as our BA (Hons) Acting Accelerated Degree by our degree-awarding partner Falmouth University, we have subsequently added the newly accredited CertHE Acting & Theatre Making and MA Collaborative Theatre to our training provision. In 2021, we also announced our new Regional Centre of Excellence in Bristol, whereby students from Bristol and the surrounding area will be able to learn on our CertHE Acting & Theatre Making course from September 2021.
