Trustee

‘The Rep’ – as it’s known in Birmingham and throughout the theatre world – is an institution in the city. Founded in 1935, it has become a pillar of the theatre sector, serving not only the community in Birmingham and the West Midlands but also regularly transferring productions to the West End and on national tours. It has world-class facilities in its workshops and on its stages and in the crafts and skills of the people that work in them. It brings new work to its audiences and delights them with popular, returning shows like The Snowman, part of The Rep’s offer for the last 30 years.

We are looking for an individual to join our trustee board who has marketing and communications expertise and who can demonstrate a track record of successfully engaging with a wide and diverse range of communities.Digital experience and the use of data in understanding customer engagement and behaviour would be very useful additions.

As a new trustee you would be joining The Rep at an exciting time. With growing audiences, recent artistic acclaim, and sound finances there is much to be proud of. However, we have new found ambition to be amongst the best regional producing theatres in the world. With an experienced executive team, a talented new Artistic Director, and a capable Board we are poised to reach new heights. This vacancy exists to join a winning team to build our brand and reputation well beyond Birmingham, our home city. 

The closing date for applications is noon on Monday 11 August 2025.
