The Royal Court Theatre has an exciting opportunity for someone to join the team as New Writers & Participation Producer.
This new role will be central to delivering the Royal Court’s future participation work with schools and young people; and our open-access programmes for early-career and aspiring writers. This will include the oversight and practical, day-to-day delivery of year-round programmes and one-off projects; as well as the opportunity to shape future plans. The role requires strong administrative, communication and project management skills, alongside direct experience and understanding of working with young people, school and community groups, and aspiring writers of all ages and diverse backgrounds.
While working flexibly across different participant and engagement programmes according to workload through the year, the role is expected to break down as approximately 3 days per week managing work with schools and young people; and 2 days a week our open-access writers support activities. This role requires regular travel and in-person engagement both at the Royal Court and off-site.
The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- Experience working with school and/or youth groups in the management and delivery of participatory projects, in the theatre or wider arts sectors.
- Experience working directly with young people, including as a confident facilitator with insight into the needs of diverse young participants from a range of backgrounds and contexts.

- Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills, able to establish positive relationships with a wide range of partners, stakeholders, participants and artists.
