Do you love theatre and the arts?

Have you ever considered Volunteering?

There are lots of reasons why people volunteer. It may be that you want to make use of your skills (or learn new ones).

Whatever the reasons, volunteering with G Live is a really rewarding experience!

As a G Live Volunteer Usher you’ll be the face of the theatre, meeting and greeting our guests and ensuring that they have a fantastic experience when they visit us. We’ll train, guide and support you so that you can volunteer for us with knowledge and confidence. We know that everyone has commitments in their lives, so we’re flexible about when you volunteer.

Meet the team

We’re committed to training and developing our staff, preparing them for their next step in whichever direction that might be. Here’s the proof.

Ellie Harman - Marketing Assistant

"From the time I found out a new venue was opening in Guildford I knew I wanted to be a part of it in some way, so when the recruitment day was advertised I jumped at the chance to have a look around and apply for a casual position.

I started off in 2011 working Front of House whilst at University, and worked across every department before becoming a part-time Ticketing Assistant for a few years. While on Ticketing I took the opportunity to help out behind the scenes with the Marketing team when I could, and when a permanent role in Marketing came up, my knowledge of the venue really helped my application.

I’ve now been in the Marketing team since October 2015 and have enjoyed seeing how the venue works from both sides."

 

Alison Flynn - Stage Door Administrator

"I started out as a casual member of staff with the Stage Door team. After several months working increasing numbers of hours and taking on more responsibility for the administrative duties undertaken by Stage Door, it was decided that it would be a good idea to have another permanent member of staff in the team. I was therefore invited to apply for a permanent contract which, I’m pleased to say, I was successful in obtaining."

 

Amanda Hamilton - Volunteer Co-Ordinator

"I came to G Live  when it opened with the intention of becoming a volunteer and thanks to my varied hospitality and customer service background, gained through working in the Cruise industry and also at the Royal Festival Hall / South Bank Centre,  I found myself being employed as Volunteer Co-Ordinator.

I combine this flexible and varied part time position with other interests and raising a family. G Live is a fast paced and exciting place to be involved, and the volunteers here play an important role in welcoming our patrons to the venue and making sure they have a fantastic customer experience. With around 130 volunteers at G Live, coming from different walks of life and bringing with them a wealth of experience, there is always plenty to keep me busy. I try to ensure everyone is kept up to date, match volunteer availability with performances, sign Duke of Edinburgh paperwork, write references and give support to volunteers looking for a first paid role or a return  to the workplace. 

As Volunteer Co-Ordinator I also represent the team at the venue’s weekly operations meetings and monthly Health and Safety meetings and make sure the volunteer team are fully briefed and compliant with operating procedures and health and safety requirements. "
