If you care about equity in the arts, believe creative talent should thrive in Bradford, and want to play a part in shaping cultural change locally and nationally, we’d love to hear from you.
Bradford Producing Hub is an artist-led charity working to dismantle barriers in the arts and build more equitable systems in their place. Our vision is a just and joyful cultural future – powered by people, rooted in place, and open to all.
We support artists and creatives through development programmes, sector advocacy and strategic partnerships. We work locally in Bradford and influence nationally.
Who we’re looking for
We’re particularly interested in people with experience in:
- Chairing, or an interest in developing into a future Chair role
- Arts and cultural leadership
- Being an independent artist or creative practitioner
- Charity finance and accountancy
- Fundraising and charitable giving
- HR or legal practice
- Heritage, cultural building management and/or capital development
If you don’t have the specific experience listed above, but your values and outlook closely align with the work of Bradford Producing Hub, we’re very much interested in hearing from you.
We are also actively seeking voices that represent the Bradford district, and we particularly welcome applications from people from the Global Majority*, including Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities who are underrepresented in arts leadership and governance. We equally welcome applications from people who are LGBTQIA+, disabled**, and/or from working-class or low socio-economic backgrounds.
We are committed not only to diversifying representation, but to ensuring trustees feel valued, heard and able to shape decisions meaningfully. BPH is radical, kind, equity-driven and community-spirited. We are committed to anti-racist and anti-ableist practice, recognising that structural racism and ableism continue to shape the arts sector. We are actively working to challenge this within our governance and partnerships, and we expect trustees to share that commitment.
We know that joining a board can feel daunting, particularly where governance spaces have not always felt welcoming. We are committed to providing induction, support and space for all trustees to contribute confidently and meaningfully.
If you have ever looked at arts leadership and felt it did not reflect you, this is an invitation to help change that.
What does being a trustee involve?
Trustees shape our long-term strategy, influence cultural policy, and hold the organisation to account in line with our charitable aims.
You don’t need previous board experience. Collective leadership at BPH is built on shared responsibility, openness and learning together. We provide induction and ongoing development and training.
Commitment includes:
- Around four board meetings per year
- Preparation and reading in advance
- Occasional additional support or sub-group involvement
While the role is unpaid, we cover expenses and provide a role that offers valuable non-executive directorial experience, which includes:
- Professional skills development contributing to career enhancement
- Personal fulfilment through volunteering your time and expertise to an organisation you value, supporting it to realise its goals
- Expanding your professional network while working with like-minded people to support the creative and cultural sector in Bradford

Thank you!
Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting CL:AIRE to recruit two Trustees to its Board.
CL:AIRE is an independent not-for-profit organisation established in 1999 to support the sustainable reuse of land. Through technical leadership, independence and collaboration, CL:AIRE works to raise standards, build confidence and enable proportionate, practical approaches to complex land reuse challenges.
CL:AIRE is seeking to appoint two Trustees to strengthen the Board’s overall capability. We are particularly interested in individuals with strong commercial judgement and senior level experience of finance, marketing or business development, who can contribute at a strategic level rather than as functional specialists.
The Role
Trustees are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction and long-term sustainability ofthe charity. Trustees are expected to provide independent oversight and constructive challenge, acting at all times in the best interests of CL:AIRE and its charitable objectives.
The role is non-executive. Trustees are not involved in day-to-day management.
Independence and Conflicts of Interest
CL:AIRE places a strong emphasis on independence and integrity. Trustees must be willing to declare and manage any actual or potential conflicts of interest. The role is not intended to provide commercial advantage, influence, or access to markets, networks or decision-makers. Individuals seeking to promote personal, commercial or organisational interests would not be suited to the role.
Term and Time Commitment
Trustees are appointed for an initial term of three years, with the option of re-appointment for further terms, subject to ongoing eligibility.
The Board meets quarterly, primarily in person, with some meetings held online. The expected time commitment is approximately 10 days per year.
Remuneration
Trustee roles are voluntary and unremunerated. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed.
How to Apply
For full details of the role and how to apply, please see the Recruitment Pack.
The closing date for applications is 9:00am on Monday 23 March 2026.
For an informal and confidential discussion, please contact: Nick Shanks – Harris Hill via the apply button.
Both CL:AIRE and Harris Hill operate an equal opportunity policy and commit to treating all of our candidates and jobseekers fairly.
