We are looking for exceptional people who believe in our vision that creativity should be part of everybody’s childhood. We are seeking to recruit four new Trustees who can bring their expertise, strategic planning and a passion for the transformative power of the arts, to help guide our vision and the business of Theatre Hullabaloo.

Theatre Hullabaloo is a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) of Arts Council England, a registered charity and the only specialist producer of theatre for young audiences in the North East. We make, tour and promote theatre for children and young people. We also produce the annual TakeOff Festival, England’s leading festival of theatre for children and young people and in December 2017, we realised the dream of opening The Hullabaloo a purpose-built venue for children and families in Darlington.

You would be joining us at an exciting time in our development as we look to strengthen our position in the sector and to further develop our strands of work. We are an ambitious and progressive organisation and the Board of Trustees play an important role in both supporting and challenging the executive team and advocating for the organisation within their wider professional spheres of influence.

Applications are particularly welcome from individuals who identify with one of the following characteristics: under 40, Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic, disabled, live in or around Darlington or play a significant role within the communities of Darlington, who are currently under-represented on our board.

We are also interested in candidates who have specific expertise and skills in the areas of HR, Early years or Primary education, the Business sector and Fundraising.

To apply please read the application pack below. The pack gives more information about Theatre Hullabaloo, the governance of the organisation, expectations of a Trustee, and how to go about putting in an expression of interest.

Deadline for applications: 12 noon on Monday 16 September
