Newcastle Theatre Royal is one of the best-loved and most recognised large-scale, regional theatres in the UK, creating moments of magic both on and off stage.
Our iconic Grade I listed building sits in the heart of Newcastle city centre and presents a diverse programme, showcasing world-class musicals, dance, opera and drama as well as our annual show-stopping pantomime, entertaining people of all ages from across the region.
Committed to creating a love of theatre for everyone that lasts a lifetime, our wide-ranging Creative Engagement programme is central to our creative and artistic programme and provides pathways and opportunities to access, explore and enjoy creative activities for people of all ages, and support talent development in Newcastle and across the North East.
As an independent charity which receives no regular funding, ensuring financial resilience by broadening our income streams is key to our long-term future. Our Chief Executive and staff are supported by a committed and ambitious Board of Trustees.
We are now seeking new Trustees to join our board – individuals who bring skills and lived experience to broaden the range of voices and perspectives in our leadership. In 2025/26 we are looking to appoint a number of Trustees across a range of skill sets to complement the make-up of our current board members. In this round of recruitment, we are specifically looking for Trustees with experience in auditing and either financial management or charity finance expertise. Knowledge and/or experience of the charity, arts, leisure or hospitality sectors is highly desirable.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference and support our aim to be a Theatre for everyone. We encourage and welcome interest from candidates who will bring different lived experiences and perspectives to the Trust.
