We have around 50 regular volunteers helping us with events, our mini-festivals, and with the day to day running of the organisation. We are always looking to welcome new people to our team of dedicated Volunteers – will you join us? Please fill in the form below, or contact our Volunteers Co-ordinator Kairen Vann at [email protected].

Being a Volunteer is rewarding and sociable; there is usually an opportunity to watch the event for which you are volunteering – including world-class music, popular films, fantastic theatre, and brilliant comedy. Each month Volunteers are entered for a prize draw to win two cinema tickets, as part of our monthly newsletter ‘Bells and Whistles’, and free tickets are sometimes offered for other events. Volunteering at The Shed has no minimum hours – and Volunteers help us in lots of other departments – please see current opportunities below.

Duty Managers

We are looking for individuals to manage our busy events. As Duty Manager you will be responsible for overseeing operations of the theatres, box office and bar service during events. This includes liaising with the Office and Event Managers on theatre layout, managing takings, and assisting any technicians. Hours are predominantly during evening and weekends. Duty Managers will be required to undergo First Aid training, paid for by Tetbury Goods Shed.

Event Managers

The point of contact for all our visiting events, Event Managers are responsible for ensuring that The Shed is ready and prepared for our acts, including opening the venue, and welcoming each act, making sure the Duty Manager is aware of any seating layouts, as well as any additional requirements that each event might have. Together with the office, they are also responsible for ensuring we have enough staff to cover all roles for each event, including any technical support that may be required.

Cinema Manager

Are you passionate about Film? Do you see yourself leading our cinema programme at The Shed? We are currently seeking a new Cinema Manager, to decide on and promote our weekly Thursday Films! This is a large role, and could be perfect for the right person!

Events Team

Do you want to have a hand in what happens at The Shed? Could you join us every Thursday at 11am? We’re looking to expand our events team to aid with fundraising, marketing, and promotion of both our week-to-week events, and our annual festivals and larger events.

Technicians and Cinema Projectionists

Ideally with a background in sound or lighting (or a passion for learning the ropes!) our technicians are absolutely vital for our events – from rigging the lights, to plugging in the mics, to simply setting up the projector for a PowerPoint presentation. Our team of projectionists are responsible for the showings of our Thursday Cinema. If you are technically minded, we would love to hear from you!

Box Office

With the most contact with our audiences, our Box Office teams are a friendly bunch – responsible for selling and taking tickets, showing people to their seats, and liaising with Event Managers about event requirements.

Bar

Are you good in a public facing role? Our Bar operates at nearly every event, and from taking orders to carrying the beers, it usually takes a team of 3 or 4. The Shed is currently developing plans for a purpose-built external bar due to be built in 2022 – could you be part of this vibrant friendly team?

Stewards

We always have an art exhibition in The Shed, which changes month on month. We’re increasing our stewarding team to make sure that the art exhibitions are manned to welcome visitors and sell artwork during our open hours. There is always a talk for the stewards from visiting artists, and sometimes private views and other evening events.

General Volunteers

There are always jobs to be done at The Shed! From moving staging and tables, watering the plants, delivering leaflets, and holding ladders, if you have even a couple of hours a month to help out – this is for you!

Restoration and Development

Our building is continually evolving. If you have practical skills to assist with our on-going restoration and building work, please get in contact.

Duke of Edinburgh Awards, Work Volunteer Programmes or similar

We can provide short term volunteering for those completing volunteering under various programmes, ideally candidates will be over 18. Please contact our Events Co-ordinator directly at [email protected] to discuss options.
