Welcome Volunteer
Role Summary
Mansfield Palace Theatre is looking for warm and friendly people with a passion for theatre and the arts to volunteer with us as a Welcome Volunteer.
As a welcome volunteer you’ll greet audiences with a smile, help direct them to their seats and keep an eye on the audience (and what’s on the stage!) during the show. During the interval you’ll be making sure everywhere is tidy and helping customers if they need any support.
Ideally, you’d be able to offer a regular amount of time each week and in exchange we offer the chance to be part of the theatres community and the opportunity to see some fabulous shows.
All Welcome Volunteers will receive training, and you’ll join our wonderful team who are dedicated to giving local people great nights out in Mansfield. Typical volunteering shifts are between 6.30pm and 10pm, usually Tuesday to Saturday. Sometimes there are Sunday performances, and we also have occasional afternoon shows (1pm to 4.30pm).
Benefits of volunteering at Mansfield Palace Theatre:
- Mansfield District Council Cultural Service uniform
- Tea and coffee when on duty
- Audience training
- Free Mansfield District Council car parking pass
What we’re looking for:
If you have plenty of enthusiasm, a friendly face and are ready to give a warm welcome to people from all walks of life, then you have the potential to be a Welcome Team volunteer.
We’re inclusive and welcoming and this opportunity is open to everyone. You may be a student, working, out of work or retired. Refugees and sanctuary seekers are also welcome. Welcome Volunteers don’t require high levels of written English, so it doesn’t matter if English isn’t your first language, or you have a disability. All we ask if that you’re able to commit to a few shifts each month.
