Volunteering at South Hill Park

South Hill Park Arts Centre is dedicated to developing artists and people with an interest in visual and dramatic arts. Alongside our day to day arts programme we also actively engage with volunteers, offering a unique opportunity to gain experience with individual departments across the organisation.

Our Volunteer Front of House Assistants (Stewards) are extremely important to us and make a significant contribution to the smooth running of the Arts Centre by helping to assist our customers in an informed and friendly manner. As the public face of South Hill Park Arts Centre they welcome visitors into our performance spaces and are the first point of contact between the organisation and the public.

Joining South Hill Park Arts Centre as a Front of House volunteer would ideally suit those that have an interest in the arts, enjoy working with the public and as part of a team.

We also have a number of volunteers who help us behind the scenes in our offices (including Administration and Marketing) and in our Technical/Backstage department. Perhaps you are a student looking for a career in Arts Marketing or as a Press Officer, or a stay-at-home parent looking to put your valuable career skills to good use for a few hours a week while the kids are at school. Or maybe you just love helping out and relish the idea of getting some paint on your hands working with our set designer.

If you have a keen interest or are skilled in any of the many functions needed to keep South Hill Park running smoothly, we’d be happy to hear from you!
