Solar Bear are seeking an enthusiastic and visionary Associate Director to help shape the future of Solar Bear’s Deaf Youth Theatre and expand the ethos and learning for deaf children, young people and adults.

Who They Are
Solar Bear is a theatre company that does things differently. Inclusion and collaboration are at the heart of their mission. They work with deaf and hearing actors, theatre makers, artists and young people. They reach out to those often excluded from the arts. Working more inclusively and collaboratively makes us think in radically different ways. It shapes who they work with. It inspires them to play with new ways of storytelling. It influences the stories they tell, and where and how they tell them.

They have a small staff team consisting of a Creative Director, Executive Producer, Community Engagement Manager, Digital Development Manager and a Film & Screen Lead Officer.
