Trustee

We are specifically looking for new Trustees in the following critical areas:

Experience of fundraising – You will leverage your experience in grant applications, securing sponsorships, and developing strategic partnerships to help drive our organisation’s fundraising strategy and ensure its financial sustainability. You will partner with an existing trustee and in conjunction with the Theatre Manager.

Experience of developing education programmes, preferably within the theatrical or creative arts area. However, it is more important that you can demonstrate how to build academic vehicles for people aged 18 years and under. The Trustees and Theatre Manager have outlined several potential programmes which need to be brought to life by an experienced trustee and the sub-committee which they will lead.

Experience of Governance. With a strong knowledge of charity governance, you will play a key role in the strategic oversight and governance of the Theatre. You will bring your expertise in governance frameworks, legal compliance, and best practices to ensure the charity is operating in accordance with its objectives and relevant regulations.

Experience of theatrical programming, to support our ambitions to further raise our game, diversify our developing theatrical and artistic programmes and advise on financial targets for visiting work.

HR experience – to oversee the governance and strategic direction of an organisation, while bringing expertise in human resources to the role. They will help ensure that the organisation follows best practices in HR policies, employment law, talent management, diversity and inclusion, and staff well-being.

Previous board/trustee experience is not necessary, and we welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds. These are voluntary positions, although reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
