> An enthusiasm for theatre and supporting young people in the arts
> A collaborative approach
> Alignment with the values of the company
> A commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

We will consider expressions of interest from people based outside Scotland provided they can attend the annual in-person session and can clearly demonstrate the added value of their experience and connections.
