activ8 Volunteer Scheme

Due to an increased programme of activities within the department, activ8, the participatory department
of the Octagon Theatre, have set up a volunteer scheme.

We have a select group of Voluntary Project Assistants to assist us with the youth theatre and education and community arts projects throughout the local area. No experience is necessary, you just need to be over 18, enthusiastic and have an interest in theatre.

Becoming a volunteer for activ8 is ideal for people who are wishing to pursue a career in drama workshop leading, working in the community or working with young people. It is also a great opportunity for people who have a love of theatre and drama and want to get more actively involved.

The roles for activ8 Volunteer Project Assistants:

  • Supporting the workshop leaders with activities such as encouraging young people to take part
  • Leading warm up sessions (optional)
  • Supporting young people on a one to one basis
  • Being responsible for supervision where necessary, to enable workshop leaders to take lunch breaks etc
  • Supporting the team with administrative tasks
You will benefit by:
  • Gaining invaluable experience working alongside professional directors and workshop leaders
  • Working creatively with young people and community groups
  • Getting to see Octagon productions for just £3
  • Simply having fun!
Full training and support will be provided, we only ask that Volunteer Project Assistants can commit for a minimum of 6 months and they will consent to an enhanced CRB check. Please note that a commitment to equal opportunities is essential.

For full details and how to apply contact Helen Keenan on 01204 556501 or alternatively email helen.keenan@octagonbolton.co.uk
