Italia Conti has a proud, over 100 year, tradition of training some of the biggest names on stage and screen – from Noel Coward to Bonnie Langford, Martine McCutcheon and contemporary Olivier award-winning stars Sam Tutty and Layton Williams.
We are looking to appoint Trustees who believe in the transformative power of performing arts and who will take a proactive interest in the work and life of Italia Conti – including attending performances and industry showcases. We would be particularly interested to hear from individuals with experience in:
- Finance

- Performing Arts Production or Management
- Philanthropy or Sponsorship
Diversity and inclusion is important to us, and we would be keen to receive applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds and all age ranges.
We hold three Board meetings per year, one each term, usually in person but occasional online attendance is of course possible.
If your professional background is combined with a passion for the performing arts and an enthusiasm to help talented students achieve their potential, we would love to hear from you.
