Who we are
We are a team of 11 dedicated arts creatives who love working with all members of our communities. We create and deliver a year-round programme of practical workshops, projects and events engaging all ages, abilities and backgrounds across West Sussex. Within LEAP we have 2 key strands:
• Children and Young People (CYP)
• Community Outreach
We run over 50 weekly workshops across the whole of West Sussex, and facilitate a vast programme of bespoke projects on top of this. We believe that everyone, everywhere, should have great access to the arts and the benefits they bring. We provide a range of options for everyone to feel comfortable coming to the Theatre, including Young Carers, children who find mainstream school challenging and young unaccompanied asylum seekers. You can find information about our recent work here.
Who could you be?
You might be a recent school, college or sixth form leaver with an interest creative engagement. Or you might be someone looking to retrain in a new industry, or a graduate from University or Drama School. You believe theatre and the arts can and should be for all, and are keen to explore their wider social benefit to our community. You may have some voluntary experience working with youth theatre groups or similar. You will have a desire to learn the skills needed to support the facilitation and administration of practical theatre workshops, projects and events with a wide
range of young people. As this role is a formal Apprenticeship, an average of one day per week throughout the majority of the two years will be spent undertaking formal learning under the direction and in collaboration with a Course Leader at Chichester College.
