Working closely with the Youth Theatre Leader, the role involves building positive relationships with young people, actively participating in creative activities, and providing administrative and practical support during sessions and performances. The Youth Theatre Assistant acts as a positive role model, helping participants develop confidence, creativity, and ownership of their work while ensuring compliance with safeguarding, equality, and health and safety policies. The role also includes contributing to session evaluations, reporting concerns appropriately, collaborating with staff and fellow volunteers, and attending relevant training to support the ongoing success of Derby Theatre's youth theatre programme.
