Job Title
We are looking for someone to add a bit of gaming fun to our website and live family-oriented work. Experience with Java and PHP required.
What difference will you make?
The People's Theatre Company always strives to innovate with its live performance work. We were the first organisation to blend live action, puppetry and animation in a family stage musical and now we want to add gaming to create a new, fresh and exciting experience for our audience in theatres.
We are also a charity and take our outreach and other charitable commitments seriously. As such we offer a host of free resources for schools, families, children and aspiring theatre artists but they are underused and part of the reason for this is that we don't have a lot of traction and retention on our web site at www.ptc.org.uk.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
One of the ways we know we can fix this is to provide visitors to our web site with actions and activities to engage with. Games are a great way to do this as well as a healthy way to encourage people to interact more with us and our work. It will also link the live experience to the online one which is a desirable outcome.
Ultimately we want people to use our facilities and enjoy what we do so if that excites you please drop us a line.
What are we looking for?
The ideal applicant will be experienced with Java and PHP and able to design and build a game from the ground up.
When the game is ready you will need to be able to upload it and check it for compatibility and bugs.

What will you be doing?
- You will be working with our Artistic Director to devise and create simple, fun games for children to play on our web site and potentially as a part of our touring work.

- We can provide a host of characters and related artwork to populate the games and the games can be anything from a simple find the pairs game to something more complex.
- You would have total creative control alongside support from our artistic director.
If this sounds like fun please get in touch.
