You will work together with FaB’s existing Lead Producer and occasionally other team members.

During your time with us, you will gain real-world experience working on the business side of the arts sector. With real responsibilities, you’ll be able to place much of what you have learned through your studies into context, through practical application of all that theory. You’ll get a confidence boost from realising you know lots. This is an opportunity to start building your network and we’re committed to your personal and skills development.

If you're relentlessly curious, we want to hear from you.
Sometimes will even have fun doing all this!
