National Theatre of Scotland: Non-executive Director Board Members

Closing date: Sat 9 May 2026: 9:00AM

National Theatre of Scotland are a Theatre Without Walls, have imagination without limits and exist to make extraordinary, relevant theatre by, with and for contemporary Scotland.

As they continue their journey, they are seeking to recruit at least two Non-Executive Directors who share their passion for theatre and the arts to support their collective responsibility to develop their vision and their people.

In line with their strategic framework, one of their priorities in the coming years is the development of their artistic programme at home and internationally.

They know that to achieve this, they will need to find new ways of working and continue to diversify their revenue, optimising the commercial and financial guidance the Board can offer.

They are also looking to maximise their strategic communications in this current fast-changing landscape, and considering how evolving technology can best extend their programming and reach, engaging learners, supporters and wider audiences. They are excited by the prospect of Board members who can support the governance requirements of this journey.

They also welcome a diversity of voices around the table, reflecting the audiences and communities they serve. Applications from divergent and collaborative thinkers from all walks of life are welcome and they strongly encourage applications from candidates of colour, gender diverse and disabled people.

If this is of interest, please read the full Information Pack on their website, which contains further information and details of how to apply.

Remuneration: The role is voluntary, so there is no salary or payment for being on the Board but expenses for travel may be claimed.

Location: Board meetings take place in Rockvilla, their creation space located in Glasgow, and they strongly encourage attending these in person whenever possible. However, they absolutely welcome candidates from all over Scotland and beyond and can facilitate online attendance if required.

Time commitment: They have four Board meetings per year and up to four Committee meetings depending on the membership of the Committee. Committee membership is not a requirement to be a Board member, but on this occasion, they are seeking to appoint at least one new trustee to the Finance, Risk and Audit Committee.

Board members are also expected to see as much of the company’s work as possible including performances (tickets are provided) and events and to occasionally represent the company at these.

Reporting to: Chair of the Board.
