Closing Date: 
Friday, 6 October, 2017

Chipping Norton Theatre is a restlessly busy and ambitious theatre and arts centre in the Cotswolds. Welcoming over 50,000 people every year in a town of little over 6,000, The Theatre delivers a year-round programme of theatre, comedy, music, film and participatory activities for audiences across the region. More recently, we have grown as a producing house, creating three major productions each year and growing a stronger and more loyal audience as a result. We are looking to grow this area of our work and have begun to tour a production once a year, we currently have a tour out on the road and are about to start Panto rehearsals. Many of our production are co-produced; Arts Council supported and some transfer to London.

The Theatre, sited in a Victorian former Salvation Army Citadel, is a charming and warm environment for this wide range of activities. In addition to the main 200+ seat auditorium, we have a range of workshop and rehearsal spaces and a gallery exhibiting local and national artists.

The Arts Admin/Programming Assistant is a new full time position that supports the programming, marketing and participatory work at The Theatre. It is a busy, central role that is crucial to the delivery of our artistic programme, and a fantastic opportunity to gain experience at the heart of an ambitious creative team, with good opportunities for training and career development.

The job is diverse, demanding a degree of flexibility, a high level of multi-tasking organisation, and lots of energy! Regular tasks within the role include contracting and communicating with visiting companies, creating marketing materials, casting and production support, supporting education workshops and administration. Ideally, we are looking for someone quick thinking and energetic, with an interest in and understanding of the arts world.

The post reports directly to the Artistic Director, with whom it works closely. The post holder will also work closely with our Take Part Co-Directors and our Marketing Manager. It is an ideal post for someone looking to gain their first role within the arts industry, or looking to move into the arts industry from an administrative role in another sector.
