Good question! These roles are about the overall management and oversight of a particular theatre. The roles we’re focussed on are ultimately responsible for a particular venue. The role will include management of a very varied team of people with different specialist skills, business planning and ensuring the theatre meets its financial and performance targets, developing new business and income streams and maintaining a positive reputation in the community, allocating resources effectively, contributing to programming decisions, taking responsibility for safety and risk management and the venue’s legal obligations, the training, support and development of your staff to ensure the theatre is run in the best way possible, always looking for ways to grow and improve. As you can see from the destinations of our previous trainees, usually we’d be looking for a trainee to progress to a deputy general management role or equivalent on completing the scheme but other roles may also be considered depending on the vacancies that arise at the end of your scheme.
