Job Description
Rainbow Productions is excited to be looking for an organised and practical individual with a hands-on approach to become the newest member of our Refurb team. This role is ideal for someone with a passion for repairing, restoring and maintaining costumes and props. You will work closely with the other members of the Refurb team to assess, clean and repair costumes and props sent to Rainbow from across the UK and internationally, helping to give them a new lease of life.

- Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a small team.
- A practical, hands-on approach and a willingness to learn.
- Good problem-solving skills, as refurbishment projects often require creative and practical solutions.
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
- An interest in repairing, restoring and maintaining costumes and props.
- Previous costume-making experience is welcome but not essential. We are looking for someone who is available to start from the beginning of November.
