The Empire Theatre needs you...
We are always looking to increase the size of our volunteer team so that we can offer a bigger programme of events to our local community. In return volunteers will get to work with some fun people (we would say that!) and have a real influence on how the theatre is run and the shows, films and events we offer to our community.
We are especially keen to meet people who would like to be part of our Front of House team who are able to volunteer daytime as well as some evenings. These roles are the face of the theatre who meet, greet and support our customers at each event as well as sell tickets, drinks and sweets processing transactions through our cash register as cash, debit or credit card transactions. In addition to our Front of House team we also want to strengthen our cinema projectionist team. Our projectionists are key team members who ensure the quality of our cinema offering, ensuring all films are screened at their best. Finally we are especially keen to work with volunteers who maybe have an interest in marketing, or working to support the efficient running of the theatre in a back office role. Regardless of the role you would like to fulfill we provide full training and on-going support. We are a friendly bunch and whilst everyone pitches in to do whatever needs doing we would not want you to commit to working every ‘shift’ however we do ask you to give a reasonable level of support each month i.e. 2 or 3 events per month (or more if you can spare the time).
Volunteering is not just for those at the end of their career, all our roles offer unique opportunities for college or university students/leavers to develop transferable skills and get some real world work experience that may support their CVs or future work ambitions. We are not looking necessarily for detailed experience just some ability and bags of enthusiasm.
We would love to meet anyone, young or young at heart, who is interested in getting involved with the theatre. If you want to learn more about the roles we are seeking to fill or maybe you have skills that you feel may help the theatre futher develop please complete and submit an expression of interest form and we will do the rest
Thank you for your interest in the Empire and we hope to meet with you soon.
