Told by an Idiot are looking for a new, dynamic Assistant Producer to join our team. 

We always like to support and encourage people to follow their dreams, so although we are sad to say goodbye to our current Assistant Producer, Georgie, we are thrilled that the reason she's leaving is to make her debut on the glittering West End stage. It's an exciting time to join the company, as we approach our upcoming co-production The Cat and the Canary with Chichester Festival Theatre and also have many other tantalising projects on the horizon...

Told by an Idiot is a small team with a big output. The Assistant Producer is responsible for supporting all aspects of Told by an Idiot activity, including our Productions, R&Ds and Projects, in collaboration with the Associate Producer, Executive Director and Artistic Director. They will also have particular responsibility for the successful administration and delivery of Taught by an Idiot (Told by an Idiot’s Participation Programme), our workshops, events and online activity.
