Work Experience

Salisbury Arts Centre regularly welcomes students to join us for their work experience placements. 

Work placement is designed to give an insight into the running of an Arts Centre and is a good way of finding out about the arts as a future career path. We prefer to offer a broad overview of the whole centre rather than a placement in one department; this means that there is the opportunity to work in box office, marketing, operations, front of house and technical. The work will vary depending on the events we have taking place during the placement.

The Arts Centre does not produce its own work so we do not offer experience in make up or costume design, set building or design. However, on occasion, resident or visiting companies maybe doing site specific work that it may be possible to get involved in.

We are looking for enthusiastic young people, who are outgoing and have a genuine interest in the behind the scenes operation of the arts centre. Ability to use a computer and the Internet may be beneficial as well as the confidence to work with the public. A willingness to work hard and as part of a team is essential.

We also consider applications from students in Further Education who may have a specific area of interest. Please do contact us for further details.

Please note all work experience and placements are voluntary positions.

For further information, or an application pack please contact Polly Mason, Centre Manager on 01722 343020

Volunteering

Salisbury Arts Centre is able to programme a wide range of events and continue to be one of the leading arts venues in Wiltshire and surrounding region thanks to the help of our dedicated team of volunteers.

The volunteering team play a distinct and vital role within the organisation and the commitment, enthusiasm and ideas from the volunteers are an essential part of the character of the arts centre.

Volunteers as asked to give as much or as little time as they like.  At the beginning of each season of events volunteers are sent a tick list of events, and you can choose how many you wish to join us for.  Events take place throughout the week, and at various times so there is usually the chance to fit around your schedule.

The majority of our volunteers help with stewarding events.  This involves taking tickets, selling programmes and merchandise, and ensuring the safety of the customers.  All volunteers are fully trained, and a duty manager is always in the building during a shift.

By becoming a volunteer you can also benefit in several ways!

• Stewards working for performances often see many shows for free
• Volunteer Vouchers are given to volunteers for every performance they work.  These vouchers are able to be exchanged for tickets for Salisbury Arts Centre shows. 
• 10% discount in the café when you’re on duty
