Head of People (0.6FTE)

Our Story

Lichfield Garrick Theatre has had an incredibly positive few years, reaching even bigger audiences with a programme that has been getting busier and more diverse year-on-year, developing a thriving community engagement programme and winning regional awards for large business of the year and for marketing excellence. In its most recent full financial year, the Garrick group (the charity and its trading companies) posted a turnover of over £4m, reached a record-breaking audience of 140k people, mounted a national tour of one of its home-grown productions and undertook a large-scale refurbishment of all the public areas of its building.

Your influence 

Day-to-day and strategic HR management at the Charity has historically been delivered by a combination of our Finance Director, Operations & Production Director and CEO, with some additional administrative support. However, with the team growing (we currently employ c.30 permanent staff and work with a large number of casuals/freelancers/volunteers each year) plus a stronger focus on wellbeing, we’re now looking to boost capacity and expertise in this area by recruiting an experienced p/t Head of People to join our Senior Management team.

We want someone who is excited by the prospect of working in a fast-paced, creative organisation and would welcome the opportunity to help shape the development of an ambitious not-for-profit business like Lichfield Garrick. Whilst we will need this new member of our team to build strong working relationships with our largely on-site workforce, we can offer a high level of flexibility about how this part time role is delivered.

To apply, please send an up-to-date CV and covering letter/email (suggested maximum 2 sides of A4 or equivalent) setting out your suitability for this role to recruitment@lichfieldgarrick.com together with a completed Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form which you can download below.
