We have four offices back of house at the theatre of varying sizes, including one accessible office and we also have another accessible office near to the theatre. Most of our teams work across the two spaces.

Depending on the job role, some teams are required to work from the theatre, whereas others are eligible to work from home for part of the week. Those teams eligible for hybrid working work on a weekly office rota, allowing teams to sit together and work collaboratively in the same spaces.

All back of house toilets are gender neutral and we provide free sanitary products for our teams to use. There are also shower facilities and bike storage.

Upon joining, we’ll ask you to do a DSE assessment so we can ensure your workstation is set up for you to work comfortably.

As a Disability Confident employer we invite all new starters to complete an online ‘Getting to Know You’ form, which asks you about your likes and dislikes, your communication preferences and also any barriers you face. It’s useful for your new manager to better understand you and your preferences and they will meet with you to discuss those barriers and any reasonable adjustments that might be put in place to support you.
