New Trustees

Oily Cart are looking for new Trustees and a Chair to join our Board, to champion, support and guide us on our mission to create ambitious and high-quality Sensory Theatre that all babies, children and young people can enjoy.

We recruit our board members for their specialist skills and knowledge. We value all kinds of knowledge, which you could have gained through your work or personal life. We welcome Deaf, disabled and / or neurodivergent applicants, those with lived experiences of disability (such as a parent, carer or sibling of a disabled person), those from the global majority and people of all genders. This is an unpaid, voluntary role, but our Access Officer (and access budget) will help to make our meetings accessible, and cover out-of-pocket expenses. We are particularly keen to hear from people who have the following skills or knowledge areas. These could have been gained through your work or your personal life:

• A new Chair of our board (we are open to co-Chair models).
• People who work in the theatre industry.
• People with experience of commercial theatre and / or live events.
• People with experience of fundraising and / or who can open up useful connections for Oily Cart.

You don’t need to have been on boards before to apply. What’s most important is being passionate about everyone’s right to creativity and cultural experiences.
