A little about us:
The Bridge Theatre is designed by Haworth Tompkins, Winners of the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre. It has 900 + seats and can be configured in end-stage, thrust and promenade formats. The Bridge will produce roughly four new productions a year with the aim that three of the four will be new work – new plays to begin with and, in time, new musicals as well. On Monday nights, it will host an eclectic programme of one-off events of music, conversations and performance. With a stunning location and riverfront space, the Bridge aims to offer a great night out – always with a great show at the centre of it – but elevating the overall customer experience of going to the theatre.
We are an equal opportunities employer and value diversity in our workforce – we encourage applicants from all backgrounds.
Applications close Friday 1st September – please email your CV and covering letter, letting us know why you want to work with, the number of days and hours you are looking for each week.
