Bradford Producing Hub has partnered with Good Chance and their Stage Door Programme to offer a paid work placement and training opportunity for aspiring producers with lived experience of displacement.
Stage Door is an opportunity created by Good Chance for people from refugee backgrounds at the early stage of their careers to participate in bespoke traineeships to develop their skills, networks and professional experience.
At Bradford Producing Hub (BPH), we’ve partnered with live events organisations for over three years to host transformative paid work placements. We’re now proud to partner with Good Chance to offer a traineeship within our own team for an aspiring producer to gain hands-on experience in producing events and artist development programmes.
We’re looking for someone excited about supporting the growth of artists and contributing to a vibrant arts sector here in Bradford, while building their own experience as an Assistant Producer.
Bradford is a City of Sanctuary – a place where people from across the world make their home. This traineeship is part of a shared commitment to addressing the imbalance of opportunities for those who have sought sanctuary in the UK and are building a career in the creative industries.
About the Traineeship:
The Assistant Producer will support the BPH team with the planning, design, delivery, and evaluation of our training programmes and events. You will gain hands-on experience working in an arts development organisation and develop your skills and networks.
You will have a main point of contact at BPH, who will provide regular check-ins and support you with your work. The Good Chance team will provide additional support throughout the placement period, including group cohort sessions with other Stage Door trainees to share skills, build networks and wellbeing support.
There will also be funding available for you to attend professional development activities, which may include training days, skills sessions and webinars, or theatre and event outings.
Following the placement, BPH will offer up to 3 additional mentoring sessions, looking specifically at what’s next, and helping with further development and career opportunities. You will also be invited to remain a part of the Stage Door network, which will include further development opportunities in the future, as well as tickets, outings and networking.
We can adapt the working schedule to fit around your other commitments, such as family responsibilities, appointments, or other work.
