ECHO is a charity mainly working with people with moderate or severe learning difficulties. We also support people with mental health needs or who have physical or sensory impairments. ECHO runs 30 different activities each week in community settings across Herefordshire.

Main purpose of post
About Face Theatre Company is just one of a handful of professional UK theatre companies working with actors with learning disabilities. Established in 1995, About Face has a strong reputation for delivering high quality theatre to festivals, theatres, community and other venues. Their schools projects have successfully integrated performances and workshops enabling follow-up work in the classroom and support for delivery of the national curriculum.
As part of our long-term commitment to raising the profile of About Face, we are looking for a Production Development Officer to provide a range of support to the company. Working with the artistic director and other ECHO staff, the post holder will be responsible for several different duties which will vary throughout the year according to the company’s work schedule. The post holder will focus primarily on About Face Main Company, but also on developing About Face as a whole.
The lengthy and extensive list of duties which follows, details the wide range of skills that candidates may bring to this post; however, it is recognised that not every duty can be addressed every week in the time available thus planning and prioritising will be essential.
This is a twelve-month fixed-term part time appointment of 7.5 hours per week with the possibility of an extension at the end of this period. Ideally you will work when the artistic director has non-contact time; this will be on Thursdays until Christmas 2024 and on Wednesdays from January 2025. Some unsocial hours may be required on occasion. You will be mostly based at The Forbury Workshop, Church Street, Leominster; however, you may be required to work elsewhere as deemed necessary.
The post is for 7.5 hours per week (£5189.44 pa).
Closing date: Monday 14th October 2024, 9am
