• Would you like to work for a pioneering national theatre for children?
• Do you want to build a career in arts fundraising and events?
• Are you creative, organised and with good administrative skills and attention to detail?
This is a permanent, part-time (3 days per week) role.
This is an exciting and varied role, ideal for someone looking to develop a career in the arts and/or arts fundraising. You’ll be line managed by the Development & Events Manager and work with all the Development Team and staff across the organisation.
You’ll have the opportunity to work on a range of events for current and prospective supporters and provide essential administrative support to ensure accurate record keeping of donations.
We think the role will suit you if you are creative and organised with good attention to detail.

Polka’s commitment as an equal opportunities employer means we are keen to encourage applications from people from the Global Majority, people across the gender spectrum and people who self-identify as disabled, who are underrepresented in our sector.
