Job Summary
Looking for a freelance Access Support Worker for Actor and Theatre Maker based in London.
Job Description
Region: London / Hybrid
Hours: Freelance, flexible, up to 10 hours per week
Rate: £15 per hour, currently funded by Access to Work and subject to reconsideration
Closing date: Monday 30th November 2026
I'm an actor and theatre maker working across rehearsals, performance, development, writing and producing.
My schedule can be irregular and change depending on projects, rehearsals and my health.
I'm neurodivergent and also live with chronic pain and fatigue, so my capacity can fluctuate quite a lot.
I don't need someone to take over my creative work. I need someone who can help me stay on top of the admin, communication, planning and practical things around it, and step in more when my energy or pain is bad.
I work best with people who are warm, calm, direct, flexible and not too formal.
I am navigating the creative industry as a queer, genderfluid and person of colour.
I'M LOOKING FOR
Someone who is organised, emotionally intelligent, reliable and good at communicating.
Someone who can help me work things out without taking over.
Someone who is comfortable with freelance and creative work, changing schedules and a role that may look slightly different from week to week.
Ideally someone with experience in theatre, the arts or another creative freelance environment.
Experience of access support, disability support, ADHD, dyslexia or neurodivergence would be useful.
A good understanding of chronic illness, fatigue and fluctuating capacity would also be helpful.
It would be a real plus to work with someone who understands navigating the creative industries as a queer, genderfluid, person of colour, whether through lived experience or strong cultural awareness.
