Vulnerable sector screening (VSS) police check is required for all artist educators.

Training will involve a series of online sessions from Monday June 14th to Friday June 18th. Artists MUST be available for all dates. This will be followed by a 3 month probation period.

Unity promotes and advocates for individuals from diverse backgrounds and encourages applications from individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, racially visible, LGBTQ2S+, and persons with disabilities.

Unity sincerely thanks all applicants for their expressed interest in this opportunity, however only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
