New Diorama Theatre is a brand new theatre in the heart of London dedicated to presenting the work of exciting established and emerging theatre companies. In our first 18 months we’ve won two Peter Brook Awards and welcomed over 15, 000 audience members to our small Central London home to a varitey of well-reviewed productions.

From January 2012 we have an opportunity for an individual who wants to start a career in the arts and is looking to gain some valuable experience, training, mentoring and references through a volunteer position. We have a 3-month position available for a minimum of 20 flexible hours per week, to suit your schedule. We need someone to help support and expand our marketing and publicity activity and are looking for some-one with marketing insight and an interest and understanding of theatre to work alongside our small, but pro-active theatre team.  You will be required to bring ideas to the table and initiate and co-ordinate projects.
