Staff working for the Arts Section are based across these sites as well as at home.

This apprenticeship is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the dynamic environment of a theatre and gallery, how arts venues are managed, the developing landscape of making various art forms accessible to the public and the challenges faced in doing so.

This role offers the opportunity to work towards a Level 3 Diploma in Events and is perfect for someone looking to start a career in the events/arts sector. No experience is required as full training will be provided; however, we would prefer candidates to have good written and verbal communication skills, a general knowledge and passion for the arts, a love of organisation and experience of being part of team.
