Birmingham Repertory Theatre

Head of Communications

  • £40,419 – 42,759 per year
  • Closing date – 17 February 2025
  • Birmingham

Established in 1913, Birmingham Rep has an unparalleled history as a pioneering repertory theatre and the launch-pad for some of the most exciting talent in UK theatre both past and present. Today it is a producing powerhouse with three auditoria – The House, 820 seats; The Studio, 300 seats; The Door, 150 seats – as well as extensive on-site production facilities.

Birmingham is one of the most diverse cities in the UK and our location means over 4 million people can access our theatre within 45 minutes. Part of The Rep’s mission is to ensure that our programme is truly representative of the city it serves, and we aim to imaginatively engage with the people of Birmingham and beyond to create productions that fill our theatres with its people. In every endeavour, we promote inclusivity, diversity, and equality.

The opportunities to tell our story, increase our income, engage with current audiences and reach new audiences are limitless and as such we are seeking an ambitious, creative thinker. As a senior communications expert, you’ll be adept at creating inspiring and effective comms for a multitude of target groups that promote and profile the work of The Rep in an imaginative, exciting, relevant and inspiring way.

You’ll be able to craft relevant stories and messages from across the spectrum of charitable and commercial activities that are the lifeblood of The Rep and build awareness of and support for our work amongst all our stakeholders. You’ll be obsessed with filling our theatres with new and returning audiences, but also showcasing our huge schools and talent development programme, award-winning youth theatre and far-reaching community programmes.

You will either be a Brummie, West-Midlander or want to get to know Birmingham and its people first-hand. You don’t need to have worked in the arts before, but you will be a passionate advocate of theatre being for everyone, regardless of background. Celebration of our City in all its rich diversity will be evident in all your narratives, both internally and externally.
