The Old Vic Theatre Tunnels Internships

The Old Vic Theatre has several amazing opportunities for people to work in their unique new arts space The Old Vic Tunnels. Internships are a great way of gaining valuable practical experience that can equip you with the skills you need for future work.

There will be 10 internships running across all of the following departments: Marketing, Administration, Producing, Operations and Fundraising. You will cover a variety of tasks which will give you the opportunity to help to deliver projects and get a real-hands on experience. We will actively encourage you to explore your own ideas and help you to gain skills and qualifications in areas of work of interest to you. All aspects of your work will be guided by professionals at The Old Vic, V-Inspired, and the wider working world. Training can be both practical and vocational i.e. from first aid to dance, or team-building to beat-boxing!

The internships are voluntary, although we will be covering travel expenses and are able to provide a daily food allowance. As an intern you will be required to commit to 3 days a week, for 3 months, although these times will be flexible so as to work around the Tunnel programme.

People from all backgrounds, disciplines and abilities can join The Tunnels Internships. There are no stipulations on experience; we just need you to be tenacious, hard working and a team player who considers themselves to be a people person!
