Join the team!

We’re looking for a proactive and enthusiastic individual to join our team as Finance and Operations Manager. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in the financial, administrative and operational management of the charity as it continues to evolve.

KEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE ROLE

Contract type: Permanent.

Pension: NEST pension, employer contributions 3% of salary.

Hours of work: 3 days a week (0.6 FTE) (the organisation’s working hours are 09:30 - 17:30 but we offer flexible working hours and are open to conversations about how the hours could be split across the week).

Place of work: Work from home. Ad Infinitum is based in Bristol and does not currently have a physical office. Attendance at meetings in central Bristol is likely to be required at least once a month, but we can be flexible with this and are happy to discuss it with the candidate.

Access: We are committed to creating a more diverse and representative arts sector and will work to provide access support or arrangements that are required for you to undertake this role effectively. 

Annual Leave: 18 days (22 days plus 8 bank holidays pro rata, increasing to 23 days after 2 years and 24 days after 4 years).

Training: The role will include opportunities for training and development.

The main areas of the role are:

• Finance and bookkeeping (using Quickbooks software).

• Charity administration.

• HR.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is detail-oriented, efficient and organised.

• Enjoys working as part of a small, friendly core team.

• Is self-motivated and happy with working from home.

We actively encourage people whose backgrounds, lived experience and skills are underrepresented in the sector to join us and positively impact our working practice. Any candidate who self-identifies as Deaf, deaf, hard-of-hearing, disabled, neurodiverse, and/or from the Global Majority and meets the essential criteria is guaranteed an interview as these individuals are under-represented in our current workforce.

Interested? Please reach out to us if you have any questions about the role or working at Ad Infinitum. We’d be happy to have an informal chat with you before you apply. Please email Ad Infinitum’s General Manager, Emma Macnair at emma@ad-infinitum.org.

Artists: want to chat to us?

Throughout our 17 years of running an international theatre company we’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to discuss challenges with our brilliant peers throughout the sector and really appreciated the advice and support we’ve been given along the way. Sometimes all you want is a sounding board, at other times you need to explore something more specific.

We’re happy to announce that we’ll be offering a number of free, informal chats for  theatre artists with our Co-Artistic Directors, Nir Paldi and George Mann. We’re open to supporting artists in any way we can through these sessions, online or in person. 

We’ll initially be offering eight one-hour sessions during March 2024. These are one-off conversations (although if it’s helpful to book in a follow-up chat, that’s absolutely fine). They will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. No application needed, just register your interest and give us an idea of what you’d like to talk about.

If you’d like to book a chat please email Emma at emma@ad-infinitum.org and we will get back to you with further details, including confirming any access requirements you have.

BSL (British Sign Language) Level 1 Course

We’re delighted to be organising another BSL Level 1 Course led by the brilliant tutor John Mancini. This course is for artists, creatives, producers and staff working at cultural organisations. 

Some feedback from previous BSL courses led by John that we have run:

“I really can't find any fault with the BSL L1 course;  it was tremendous. The lessons were incredibly intensive and immersive,  but also very manageably paced (with regular breaks, which were  essential!) and crucially it was a lot of fun. The teaching from John was simply superb”

“I thought the course was totally great! Really helpful to learn a related skill but with a bunch of theatre peeps!”

“There's very limited availability of intensive courses like this, and with my irregular work patterns it's hard to commit to an entire term of evening classes, so I really appreciate Ad Infinitum putting it on”

At the end of the course there is the option to take a nationally-recognised qualification from the exam board Signature.​

COSTS

The cost of this course is £220 per person. The assessment at the end of the course is optional, and will be an additional £114. 

LOGISTICS

The course will run from Monday 2nd - Friday 6th October, 9:30am - 4:30pm each day.

The course will be held in-person at Watershed, 1 Canons Road, Harbourside, Bristol, BS1 5TX. Click here to find out more information about the venue.

Please see below for How to Book and our Cancellation Policy.

HOW TO BOOK

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis, and payment will be due three weeks before the start date of the course.

If you would like more information about the course or want to book a place then please email mia@ad-infinitum.org.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you need to cancel for any reason our refund policy is as follows:

 ·     Up to 14 days before: 50% refund minus assessment fee

·      Up to 7 days before: 30% refund minus assessment fee

·      Less than a week’s notice: a refund will not be possible

We will do our best to fill your place with someone else, and if this is possible then we will look to offer you a full refund, minus the assessment fee which cannot be refunded. Please understand that Ad Infinitum is liable to pay the cost of the teaching fee to the tutor, so if someone cancels with less than a week’s notice it will not be possible for us to fill that place on the course, and we will still need to pay the tutor his fee. Thanks for your patience and understanding on this issue, and please note that by booking your place you are agreeing to these terms.
