Aberdeen Arts Centre Volunteers

• VO96965

Aberdeen Arts Centre is an independent arts venue and registered charity in the heart of Aberdeen, Scotland — delivering a varied programme of theatre, dance, music, spoken word, comedy, film and creative learning events.

We are currently looking for volunteers. You can combine all three of the roles below or partake in just one area that interests you.

Opportunities to Volunteer include:
• Front of House
• Café
• Bar

Front of House volunteers are responsible for greeting the audience, showing them to their seats and ensuring their well-being throughout the evening.

Café and Bar volunteers serve customers drinks and snacks before the show and in the interval. The bar may also remain open after the show for customers to stay and relax.

Full training will be provided for each position and you will be supported by our experienced team of current volunteers and staff throughout your time with us. Whether you can commit to several nights a week or only a few nights a month, we'd love to hear from you!

A fantastic opportunity to help at a leading arts, culture, community venue and charity. All volunteers make a real difference and are greatly appreciated.

For more details please contact Tanya Read, Operations Manager at email: info@aberdeenartscentre.com or telephone: 01224 635208.

Experience required

Volunteering at Aberdeen Arts Centre is a great option if you're looking to support the local performing arts scene in the North East of Scotland, meet new people and keep busy in your free time or retirement. Our volunteers come from all kinds of backgrounds and levels of experience, and each of them brings their own personality to the role.

Training details

Excellent support and relevant guidance is provided to all volunteers. All of our volunteers are provided with an induction and the informal chat guides the areas that the volunteer would like to work in.
They will then be able to pick the shows that they want to volunteer at and will be given a shadow shift where they will be supported by a member of the team and another volunteer in the same role.
When they feel confident to take on the role on their own they will still have the ongoing support from our duty manager.
We also have a range of online training available to our volunteers.
