Careers and Vacancies
PLEASE NOTE: OUR CURRENT VACANCIES ARE LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.
For every actor you see on stage at a REP production there can be ten people working behind the scenes. More than 40 people work in our marketing, learning, literary, finance, administration, production and sales departments and every member of staff has had a different route into their job. Some have come straight from university, others have gained vital work experience as part of a school or college placement whilst others have come to work at The REP having gained and developed skills in a different industry altogether.
One thing we do know is that the employment landscape will continue to change. The government estimate that 61% of the jobs which young people will do when they leave school haven't been invented yet!
