We are looking for two people to join the Middle Child team as part of the government’s Kickstart scheme, for 16-24 year olds on Universal Credit.
The scheme offers paid work for 25 hours per week over six months and we have two roles available:
Digital Marketing Assistant – flex your social media and web skills to speak with our audiences and the wider theatre industry, about the work we are doing in Hull and beyond.
Production Assistant – get stuck-in behind the scenes to keep the cogs turning on our upcoming shows and workshops, as well as help manage our rehearsal space and library in Hull.
Both roles will start by 31 March 2022, ahead of a new, outdoor family musical in the spring and the opening of our creative space to the public in the summer.
We are prioritising potential over experience and these positions will be an ideal entry point to a career in the arts.
