We are looking for an enthusiastic, organised and ambitious person who is committed to supporting a busy and thriving department. The Outreach Assistant supports the Outreach Director and the wider Outreach department by co-ordinating our educational, youth and community opportunities. The role is largely administrative, but also involves facilitating and assisting outreach workshops. There will be regular evening hours and the occasional weekend work. Our Outreach Assistant will work closely with young people and adults at risk; therefore, a full DBS check will be required.
The Watermill Theatre is a regional powerhouse, consistently making an innovative contribution to the vibrant and diverse landscape of UK Theatre reaching far beyond the 200 seats of the theatre itself. The theatre sits at the heart of its community to whom it offers a wide programme of work, nurturing emerging artists and generating new pieces. Our belief that everyone deserves a chance to take part has led to a thriving education and participation programme, which works with around 19,000 people every year at The Watermill and in the wider community. We have a large youth theatre (around 300 children) with an extensive waiting list and run many projects with schools and other organisations in the local area.
The Outreach department consists of three full time staff, the Outreach Director, Outreach Assistant and Community Associate, and a team of up to 30 freelance artists – actors, directors and teachers, that deliver our work for us.
For a full job description and details of how to apply, please visit The Watermill Theatre website.
Application Deadline: Thursday 24th June
Interviews: Interviews to be held on Monday 5th July, via Zoom. We may recall successful candidates, if necessary.
We actively encourage applications from people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and skills as The Watermill Theatre is committed to equal opportunities for all. We also encourage people who don’t necessarily meet these criteria but believe they could challenge our thinking and ensure the theatre’s future resilience.
