Trustee

We currently have openings for new trustees who share our passion for live performance and the arts and have skills and experience in the following areas:

• Finance (specifically a Chartered Accountant)
• Hospitality
• HR/Organisational culture
• Buildings and capital development

If your background doesn’t specifically reflect any of these fields but you believe you have other skills you can bring to the organisation, we would welcome an introductory conversation with you. Our contact details are included in the downloadable pack.

Becoming a trustee of the Royal Exchange Theatre will introduce you to a range of people and experiences not found elsewhere. You will take up a position within an organisation that has broad impact and delivers engaging, joyful and thought-provoking experience. You will witness first-hand the life changing impact that engagement with arts and culture can have on an individual and communities, and we hope that you will be proud to govern an organisation that has such a positive and powerful legacy.

As a trustee of the Royal Exchange Theatre you will join a diverse board, made up of members from a range of different backgrounds and ages.

Trustees are the guardians of our purpose, making sure that all decisions put the needs of our beneficiaries first. As a trustee you will have oversight of the strategic direction of the Royal Exchange and contribute to creative discussions about our aims and purpose, ensuring that we remain a vital and relevant cultural asset for Greater Manchester, the UK and beyond.

As a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, you will also be responsible for ensuring compliance with our governing documents, charity law and other laws that apply to our organisation.

Please read the Recruitment pack for further information and how to apply.

Trustee recruitment is ongoing, so there is currently no deadline for applications.
