WE ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING FOR OUR NECT PROJECT: ADULT CHILDREN
We have two different roles available: A production assistant and an actor role. Please make it clear in your email which you are applying for by using the relevant subject heading.
PAID PRODUCTION ASSISTANT POSITION - CALL OUT FOR CREATIVES WITH DISABILITIES OR LONG-TERM HEALTH CONDITIONS
Following on from their tour of award winning show ‘ A Quick Guide to Ruining Your Life,’ Not Norman are researching and developing their next show, directed by Megan Marie Griffith.
It is an auto-biographical piece of theatre about living life alongside family members/partners/close friends with alcohol dependency.
We're looking for a motivated individual to support the R&D process. The position includes mentoring support such that you do not necessarily have to have any previous experience in this role.
The following are examples of potential tasks but these will be tailored to individual skill sets and access requirements:
- Assistant Director duties
- Social media posts documenting the rehearsal process
- Setting up the room for rehearsals
- Sourcing equipment/props
- Typing up notes from the day
- Transcribing audio
- Digital admin such as uploading, editing and distributing files.
- Printing scripts
The salary is £935 following guidance from BECTU. This is calculated as two full time weeks spread across five weeks at two days a week in January and February. It is inclusive of holiday pay.
In addition to the above pay, we have an access budget to cover any access requirements such as travel, or assistance.
We are particularly keen to recruit a creative with a disability or a candidate from across the other protected characteristics; please let us know that you meet this criteria.
It would be an added bonus (but not a requirement) if you have your own experience of having family members/partners/close friends with alcohol dependency and feel comfortable to hear stories about this and perhaps to share your own. We have bespoke wellbeing sessions available to support all members of the team with this.
Rehearsals will take place in person in central Manchester. We will be following all government guidance on social distancing and Covid-19 safety throughout the process.
We currently imagine this role to be in the room with us during rehearsals, but if you are shielding during the pandemic, please let us know as there may be a way to re-imagine the role to provide more support with rehearsal preparation leading up to and in between rehearsals.
Our director, Megan Marie Griffith is the Artistic Director and Executive Producer of Girl Gang Manchester - a "collective of female artists, activists, academics and party instigators who produce accessible, fun and meaningful events with masses of passion and creative flair." They produce a variety of ambitious large-scale collaborative events. Megan will provide bespoke mentoring to ensure the candidate has a productive and meaningful experience, tailored to their interests.
Closing Date: Friday 27th November at 5pm. Interviews to be arranged with the individual.
For questions or to apply: Email Megan at [email protected] with why you are interested in the position, what skills or personal characteristics make you suited to the role and what you would like to learn through mentorship. Please use Production Assistant as the subject heading as we are recruiting several roles at the same time.
