  At Media Trust, we believe when everyone has an equal voice, we'll get to a more equal society. That's why we connect media, creative and tech organisations with charities and under-represented talent to empower the third sector and advance media representation. We do this through media, communications and digital skills training delivered with our media and creative industry partners and by matching charities looking for content creation and other media-related support with media industry volunteers looking to give back. At the same time, we provide under-represented talent with the skills, access and mentoring to start and progress their careers in the media, creative and tech industries., Media Trust values and respects all differences in people (seen and unseen). One of the ways we do this is by actively encouraging staff to work in ways that best suit their needs and our flexible working policy outlines many of the options available, such as part-time and term-time working, job sharing, home working and working compressed hours. Please talk to us at the interview about the flexibility and equipment or other support you need. We can't promise to give you exactly what you want, but we do promise not to judge you for asking.
