What difference will you make?

Individuals are sought who have strong empathy with the National Theatre of Scotland, and an understanding of our work and ambitions combined with a portfolio of skills, experience and expertise to complement the talents of the existing Board members, which are detailed in the sections below. Furthermore, in line with our strategic framework, a key priority for the National Theatre of Scotland in the coming years is the development of our artistic programme both at home and internationally.

Finally, it our hope to also be able to be able to further increase the diversity of the Board and to find individuals from across Scotland and beyond to join us. Please note that we are seeking to appoint at least two new Board members, so not all attributes are necessary for potential candidates and in all these areas, we are interested in people from the private, public, third or cultural sectors. National Theatre of Scotland believes that to make the best possible theatre, it is vital to work with the broadest and most representative range of artists and arts workers and to play to a diverse cross section of Scottish society, whether that be live or via digital platforms. We are also committed to ensuring that our staff and Board reflect the diversity of Scottish society. We therefore particularly welcome applications from candidates of colour, gender diverse and disabled people with an interest in the arts, particularly theatre. All Board members are jointly and severally responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the company, its financial health, the probity of its activities and developing the company’s aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines. All Board members should also be aware of, and understand, their individual and collective responsibilities, and should not be overly reliant on one or more individual Board member in any particular aspect of the governance of the company.

What will you be doing?

As we continue our journey, we are seeking to recruit at least two Non-Executive Directors who share our passion for theatre and the arts to support our collective responsibility to develop our vision and our people.

In line with our strategic framework, one of our priorities in the coming years is the development of our artistic programme at home and internationally.

We know that to achieve this, we will need to find new ways of working and continue to diversify our revenue, optimising the commercial and financial guidance the Board can offer.

We are also looking to maximise our strategic communications in this current fast-changing landscape, and considering how evolving technology can best extend our programming and reach, engaging learners, supporters and wider audiences. We are excited by the prospect of Board members who can support the governance requirements of this journey.

We also welcome a diversity of voices around the table, reflecting the audiences and communities we serve. Applications from divergent and collaborative thinkers from all walks of life are welcome and we strongly encourage applications from candidates of colour, gender diverse and disabled people.

If this is of interest, please read the full Information Pack on our website, which contains further information and details of how to apply.
