Tortoise in a Nutshell

Tortoise in a Nutshell are looking for a passionate and enthusiastic full-time producer to join our small theatre charity team

The position of Producer is central to the continuing success of Tortoise in a Nutshell as a small-scale, self-producing, visual theatre charity.

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic the charity has undergone a period of carefully considered strategic reflection. The result of this process has been the creation of a strategic plan, outlining a programme of project work for the coming three years, alongside a number of key policy updates, goals, aims and objectives.

The primary focus of the Producer, working in close collaboration with the organisation’s Co-Directors, will be to explore, adapt and enact this plan.

The Producer’s responsibilities will be divided across three principal areas, Core Operations, Project Producing and Strategy.

The Producer will act as co-lead on Project Producing and Core Operations, working as part of a small, collegiate, management team with the company’s Co-Directors. The Producer will also act to support and collaborate with the Co-Directors in strategic planning.

Tortoise in a Nutshell is a highly collaborative, motivated and passionate organisation. Although small in size, it produces impactful projects in both participatory and performance settings, and has grown a hard-earned reputation for excellence. As the charity moves into a new phase of working, the role of Producer offers the chance to make a significant impact at an organisation delivering high-calibre work across Scotland and internationally.

The initial contract will be for a 1-year term, with a view to permanent extension of the position, pending successful funding applications.

For a full producer job description and details on how to apply please email Alex on info@tortoiseinanutshell.com.

Fee: £32,000 pro rata
Term: Full-time. 1-year fixed term, with a view to extending
to permanent position pending further funding.

We have a brilliant and dedicated staff team, a big family of artists, creatives, technicians and practitioners, as well as a dynamic, diverse board and a well-managed financial picture.

All we’re missing now… is you!

Ideally you have a strong interest in, or are involved in the creative industries, arts, culture or heritage sector: as an artist, creative worker or a keen audience member. Undoubtedly you passionate about charities and the difference they make to society.

At its core, we love working with people who are:

  • Passionate about arts, creativity and the power they have to transform lives

  • Artistic direction and strategy
  • Accountancy and charity finance
  • Legal (preferably with some experience of working with charities)
  • Education and participation

  • Fundraising

If you don’t have expertise in any of these particular areas but do feel that you have something exciting to offer to EEA, please don’t hesitate to apply because we’d love to hear from you.

We only want to work in an organisation that represents the world we live in, the London/Southeast we make art in, and the people we work with. So, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people who are currently underrepresented on charity boards including women, people from the Global Majority and/or refugees, disabled people and young people aged 18-25.

 

If it’s your first time being a trustee, don’t let that put you off. Training and support will be offered for those who may not have had previous experience of volunteering in this way. Meetings are held quarterly on Zoom, and trustees usually sit on one subcommittee. Travel expenses can be reimbursed and you’ll be supported to take part in our artistic events and activities. For more information on the responsibilities of becoming Trustee of a Charity have a look at The Essential Trustee.

For more information or an informal conversation about whether this is the right opportunity for you, please contact info@eea.org.uk and we’ll put you in touch with Daniel, our CEO.

“I joined the EEA board when I was 25 years old, and it was my first time being a Trustee. I’ve been so supported and nurtured that now, I’m the Chair of the board. Forget about big boardrooms or wearing suits, joining the EEA board is like coming into a big supportive sports team or drama ensemble – it’s nurturing and fun, rather than scary or alienating. I’ve done everything from conducting financial reviews to being part of an EEA artwork! The experience is broad and the more you throw yourself into it, the more rewarding it is.”
