Our mission is to support talented people from groups that are under-represented in terms of ethnicity, socio-economic background and disability, or facing significant barriers to employment, to not just enter the creative industries, but to thrive when they get in. Only then will the industry truly reflect and engage broader society. 

We are a social enterprise, unrivalled in diverse recruitment, training and inclusion. We work with organisations across the whole creative economy. Creative Access is largely funded by our employer partners who are committed to improving diversity and inclusion within their organisations, wholeheartedly. Profits go back into growing, training and supporting our community. We are also a gateway for the Government’s Kickstart scheme which provides funding to create new jobs for 16 to 24-year-olds on Universal Credit who are at risk of long-term employment.

Kickstart placements

We are working with creative organisations across the country to provide you with great job opportunities thanks to the Kickstart programme. These roles are open to anyone aged 18-24 who is currently claiming Universal Credit. 

If you come across a placement that you're interested in, speak to your Work Coach at your local Job Centre asap and quote the postcode, as well as the job title and organisation.
