Volunteering Opportunities

From front of house to sewing, our volunteers give their time and their talent and we couldn't do what we do without them! Take a look below to find out more about our current volunteering opportunities. 

We know that there are lots of factors that motivate people to volunteer, and we try to give everyone a rewarding experience whatever their reasons – to learn new skills, give something back, develop a career path, get involved with the local community, make use of existing skills, increase experience, make friends or meet new people.

If you want to come somewhere, where you feel part of a team, like an extended family almost, valued for your time and skills; this is the place to come.

Viv, Volunteer

We recognise that everyone has many other commitments in their lives, so we provide flexible volunteering opportunities. We have a support system in place dedicated specifically to our volunteers, and we encourage an open-door policy so that volunteers can come and talk to someone if they need to.

Becoming a Chickenshed Volunteer means giving your time to a truly worthwhile cause. Across all departments, Chickenshed relies on the dedication and support of its volunteers and without them it would be a sadly different place.

We have a simple application process which involves completing an application form and providing the names of two referees.

Download the application form

If you have any problems completing the form just let us know and we will do our best to help. Once we have followed up your references, we will arrange a time for you to come and meet us to talk about volunteering opportunities that will be appropriate both for you and for us.

I was able to contribute in tangible ways which I felt were not only useful for Chickenshed but
stretched and satisfied me personally.

Miriam, Volunteer

It is Chickenshed’s policy for all members, employees, students and volunteers over the age of 16 to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (formally CRB). We will give you a DBS form to complete and, once this has been processed, we will arrange a start date with you.

Please note that having a conviction will not necessarily prevent you from volunteering at Chickenshed. We actively promote equality of opportunity and we welcome applications from everyone – if you have any questions or concerns though, do get in touch.

If you have a question about any part of our application process, please get in touch.


Current Opportunities

Front of House

At Chickenshed, we have a dedicated team of volunteers who are our Front of House team. Front of House volunteers meet and greet audiences before theatre performances and events, sell merchandise and train to be fire stewards. We always welcome new faces to join our Front of House team, so do complete the volunteer application form if you would like to get involved or contact Debi - [email protected] - if you have any questions.

Volunteers need to be 16+
