Job Requirements

Perhaps understandably his transition to a new school is not without its teething troubles and his lack of confidence / interpersonal skills doesn't help. This role requires an emotionally connected young actor with the ability to play down to 10 years old. Yorkshire / Northern accent preferred.

The role is subject to enhanced DBS clearance. Dramatic Theatre is committed to safeguarding children and promoting their welfare. All people who work with us are
expected to share this commitment.
