A: The best places to find jobs online are through Arts Jobs, The Guardian, UK Theatre, The Stage and the organisation’s official websites. Social media is a good way to find new roles advertised as soon as they become available. Never underestimate the power of word and mouth; you should already be building your contacts which may lead to your next job.
When applying for roles, take a look at our helpful Stage One application advice pack on our resources page. Here we advise the best way to complete your applications for any Stage One development programs but the pack can be useful when applying for roles in general.
When it comes to unpaid opportunities it’s important to recognise the value in people having access to proper work experience, where it is properly managed and mutually beneficial. However, the work experience should never be used as a way to avoid national minimum wage regulations. There is a growing concern in the art and culture sector about its reliance on unpaid roles so stay vigilant!
