We’re expanding our pool of talented freelancers to join the team at Seven Dials Playhouse. We’re looking for Freelance Duty Managers and Freelance Front of House Assistants who share our passion for creating a warm, inclusive, and engaging environment for everyone who visits our building.
Our Duty Managers are central to creating an atmosphere that feels dynamic, welcoming, and uniquely ours. They lead the Front of House team on duty, ensuring every audience member, artist, and visitor has the best experience possible — from the first hello to the last drink at the bar. They also keep the building running smoothly, working closely with the General Manager to ensure operations reflect our brand values and commitment to excellence.
We’re looking for people who thrive in fast-paced, creative environments and bring both professionalism and personality to the role. You’ll already have experience supervising a team in a live performance or cultural setting, with strong communication skills, confidence in handling responsibility, and a natural ability to inspire others. Most importantly, you’ll have a love for theatre, performance, and the arts in all its forms, and a genuine commitment to delivering outstanding customer service.
As a Freelance Front of House Assistant, you’ll play a vital role in creating a warm and inclusive welcome for our audiences, artists, and building users. From supporting performances and private events to assisting with day-to-day activity, you’ll help ensure that Seven Dials Playhouse continues to be a creative home for artists and audiences alike.
All freelancers working with Seven Dials Playhouse must:
Be registered as self-employed with HMRC and manage their own tax and National Insurance contributions.
Hold the right to work in the UK.
Provide a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number and valid proof of identity.
Be willing to provide professional references and complete any required training or induction before starting work.
This is a flexible opportunity within our freelance pool, with shifts scheduled monthly based on your availability and the needs of the organisation. Work may include daytime, evening, and weekend shifts, as our building operates seven days a week. If you’d like to be considered for freelance opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
