Work Experience

Job
Derby Theatre hosts an ambitious programme of Work Experience, usually running from January until July each year.

In most cases, we run 1-week of work experience placements which give students a flavour of what working in a theatre has to offer, that fits with a school’s work experience programme. This can include a variety of departments, such as Front of House, Production Design, Youth Theatre, and Marketing. We look to make your experience of working in theatre as diverse and realistic as possible, which hopefully helps you to make informed choices about future study and career opportunities.

These work experience programmes have very limited places, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible! – Please fill in the application form by clicking the button below. Our team will then be notified once you have submitted your completed application form.

Occasionally, we are able to offer more bespoke placements in particular projects and departments, however this is strictly subject to availability. If you are interested in discussing this opportunity or have any further questions, please get in touch with our Young Artists and Participation Producer, Harry via email at H.Kingscott@derby.ac.uk.
