You will support the CYP strand, which celebrates an extensive programme of year-round work through youth theatre activities and outreach initiatives, delivering over 2,000 sessions and workshops annually.
The Youth Theatre activity includes weekly workshops, bespoke projects, productions and integrated wellbeing support. Alongside these opportunities, extensive outreach programmes link us to work in partnership with other organisations locally and nationally, enabling participants of all abilities and backgrounds to develop their artistic, academic, personal, social and transferable skills.
There will also be times when you are asked to support events linked to other LEAP strands, including adult community groups.
Over the course of the Apprenticeship you will gain professional experience in arts administration, practical workshop delivery, project management and leadership, and will receive ongoing mentoring and coaching from the LEAP Team and Chichester College staff. There may also be opportunities to expand your knowledge of the wider arts industry through shadowing other departments at CFT. You will work towards completing a formal apprenticeship in Cultural Learning and Participation, which is celebrated and monitored throughout the role in a portfolio of work, culminating in an End-Point Assessment.

We connect inventive artists with imaginative audiences. We bring theatre to schools and youth groups, to the West End and world stages, with the belief that theatre is for everyone.
Sitting at the heart of a cathedral city in West Sussex between the South Downs and the sea, the Festival Theatre’s bold thrust stage design makes it one of England’s most striking playhouses – equally suited to epic drama and musicals. Our studio theatre, the Minerva, is particularly noted for premieres of new work alongside intimate revivals.
We'll soon be opening the Nest, our third space. Nestled among the trees next to the Festival Theatre, The Nest has been designed to complement its sister theatres with a thrust stage. This 119-seater studio will be fully wheelchair accessible and usable year-round.
This dynamic new venue will support artists and technicians at the beginning of their careers, including local writers and performers. Plus, it'll be perfect for staging entertainment for a younger audience.
The Nest will also provide a much-needed space for our growing community programme, including creative activities for adults, our Technical Youth Theatre and work for Early Years (ages 0 – 4).
With sustainability at its heart, we have found an ideal structure previously used by The Pleasance at the Edinburgh Festival.
Countless productions originated at Chichester have transferred to the West End or toured nationally and internationally over the past six decades, from musicals to significant new plays and classic revivals.Working Hours :Our working week is based on 35 hours, which may include some evenings depending on workshop timings.
