Chair of the Board - Sheffield Theatres Trust

We are committed to growing the diversity of the people who work in our Theatres and in the communities that we serve. To support us developing a fully inclusive Organisation, we would, particularly welcome applications from underrepresented voices including, but not limited to, D/deaf or disabled people and the global majority.

The Chair of our Theatres is pivotal to supporting and challenging the organisation to have at our very core a culture of inclusion that welcomes everyone to delight in the arts and to thrive through their connection with brilliant theatre.

An Arts Council England National Portfolio organisation and the largest UK theatre complex outside of London, Sheffield Theatres consists of four venues in the heart of Sheffield and attracts an audience of over 400,000 each year.

Nationally recognised for our excellent production values, high calibre casting and world-class creative teams, our diverse programme of bold and original produced work is complemented by the presentation of the best UK touring productions, with Sheffield Theatres being a key venue for the UK’s network of commercial producers.

We are seeking a Chair of the Board to support us in our next chapter, leading a team committed to creating top quality productions, promoting equality and inclusion, investing in talent and collaborating with communities across the region. We are looking for someone with inspirational leadership skills, extensive experience of organisational governance and strategic leadership, and someone who can help us to influence and engage with key local and national networks and stakeholders.

If you would like to contribute to the success and vibrancy of this organisation, further its impact for our city and city region and maintain its important position in the cultural landscape of the nation we would love to hear from you.
