The Theatre Chipping Norton is a busy and ambitious theatre and arts centre in The Cotswolds. Bringing over 50 000 people every year to a town of little over 9,000. 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, more loyal audience as a result.

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 219 seat auditorium, we have a range of workshop and rehearsal spaces and a gallery exhibiting local and national artists. Our customer welcome is a key part of our success. Full of character, knowledgeable about the work we host, and deeply rooted in the local community, the department consists of a Head Customer Experience, this Front of House Manager role, along with 2 part time assistants, a number of paid casual duty managers and bar staff, and a large pool of hard-working volunteer ushers.

We are recruiting for a confident, warm and welcoming person to join our team as Front of House Manager. This role is a mixture of administrative work, managing our volunteer Ushers, duty managing performances and events, servicing and restocking The Theatre's bar and ensuring our customers have an excellent experience every time they step through our doors.

The Theatre team are friendly and supportive. We have a book club and craft club, we meet regularly for board games nights, bingo in the bar, or screening a sports match in the auditorium and a large social event in the summer and at Christmas. We welcome staff dogs occasionally in the offices, eat alot of cake and share a workplace were colleagues become friends who become family. We meet regularly to discuss mental health as a group and strive to make The Theatre an enjoyable place to work for all.
