The Line exists to engage, educate and inspire the public through an outdoor exhibition programme where everyone can enjoy art, nature and heritage for free.
The Line is committed to equality and diversity within our workforce and in all opportunities. Our recruitment process is open to all but we would particularly like to encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as LGBTQ+, those from lower socio-economic backgrounds and those who identify as disabled, as these groups are currently underrepresented in the cultural sector.
