About Oldham Coliseum Theatre (Ltd)
Oldham Coliseum Theatre Ltd (OCT) provides distinctive and high-quality theatre performance and participatory activities, inspiring individuals and communities and making meaningful contributions to social and cultural regeneration in Oldham, Greater Manchester and nationally. Fostering a culture of aspiration, the theatre delivers a wide range of life-changing cultural experiences, emphasising and promoting collaboration, sustainability and community cohesion.
Oldham Council has recently announced it will be re-opening the original Oldham Coliseum Theatre building on Fairbottom Street which will be operated through a new co-operative partnership model. The charity Oldham Coliseum Theatre (Limited) is looking forward to contributing to the development of this new operating model and continuing to support the development of high-quality theatre in Oldham.
We are currently looking to develop our team as OCT builds its activity over this interim transition period and are seeking to appoint a freelance Assistant Producer to assist on the development and delivery of our “Winter Show”. The Assistant Producer should have an excellent eye for detail and exemplary administration skills. They will possess a positive attitude with a high level of self-motivation and ability to work on their own initiative. They will be a collaborative, proactive and supportive team member with excellent organisation and planning skills with proven ability to work flexibly under pressure, to prioritise and to meet deadlines. They will have an ability to communicate effectively with people at all levels, both internally and externally.
We want to create a community where everyone feels valued regardless of their background, identity or circumstances and are committed to equality and representation within our workforce. We would like to invite freelancers to express interest who are currently under-represented in sector.
