Job Summary
Job Description
Somerset Youth Theatre CIC (SYT) is looking for a new independent Director to join our Board at an exciting point in our development.
We create safer spaces for young people to create, explore and have a voice through theatre and creativity. Since starting in 2021, SYT has grown from one youth theatre into a countywide organisation working with children and young people through weekly youth theatres, schools, alternative provision, creative pathways, holiday programmes and partnerships.
We are ambitious about what comes next – but we also want to make sure that growth is sustainable, well-governed and built on strong foundations.
Job Requirements
Our existing Board brings significant experience across education, SEND and inclusion, theatre and creativity, project management and social enterprise.
We are now particularly interested in someone who can bring a different perspective to the table, with experience in one or more of:
Finance, budgeting and financial planning
Business or organisational growth
Social enterprise or CIC/charity leadership
Governance, risk and compliance
HR and employment
Commercial or earned-income development
Commissioning, contracts or public-sector investment
You don’t need to work in the arts – in fact, we’re particularly interested in hearing from people who don’t.
You also don’t need to have been a Director before. What matters is that you can understand the responsibilities involved, ask good questions, think strategically and be willing to constructively challenge as well as support the organisation’s leadership.
This role would require 1 1/2 hour monthly online meeting and 2 full days in person.
