Operations & General Administrator
Theatre by the Lake, a registered charity, is Cumbria’s professional producing theatre, bringing the world to Cumbria and taking Cumbria to the world.
Hailed as ‘the most beautifully located and friendly theatre in Britain’, each year we present nearly 700 performances from our Keswick home on the shores of Derwent Water, and tour our productions both nationally, and regionally to communities across Cumbria.
We create opportunities for people of all ages, from developing local artists to engaging young people and community groups in all aspects of our work.
As an organisation, we have navigated a great deal of change over recent years and most recently a change in leadership, following the appointment of Executive Director Simon Stephens to join Artistic Director Liz Stevenson as Joint CEO.
It is an exciting time to join Theatre by the Lake. Audiences are returning after the pandemic, our staff team is growing and we are planning for the future with ambition and renewed focus. In 2024-25 we will celebrate our 25th anniversary, presenting a chance to celebrate our shared history with stakeholders and an important opportunity to connect with supporters as we look ahead to the next 25 years of the theatre.
Given the nature of this role, it is expected that the post-holder will be based at Theatre by the Lake.
