The Joseph Rowntree Theatre is a charity.  Our management and staff are volunteers, and we are recruiting new people to join us so we can continue to run our theatre for our local community and beyond. We offer something enjoyable to all volunteers whether you like meeting new people, keeping things running behind the scenes, working remotely or organising events. 

Opportunities at the theatre
As well as opportunities to volunteer backstage, front of house and in our box office, we also have opportunities to support with marketing, fundraising and events.  Full details of each role can be found by clicking on the specific role title below.

Work Experience Opportunities
Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer work experience placements due to our irregular operating hours and volunteer-led structure, which doesn’t allow for consistent supervision or structed shadowing opportunities. We appreciate your understanding and support.

Age Restrictions
Volunteers must be aged 16 or over.
