Theatre Supervisor in Birmingham

The Old Joint Stock is one of Fuller's traditional 'Ale and Pie' pubs. Popular with Birmingham's after-work crowd, the Georgian pub also boasts its own theatre – expect a lively atmosphere on show nights. This particular Theatre Supervisor role offers a unique opportunity for someone looking to take the next step within the creative and theatre industry.

Alongside supervising within the venue, the successful candidate will gain immediate hands-on experience across directing, casting, marketing, producing, creative development and wider theatre operations connected to the venue’s producing work.

Your Role as Supervisor

To oversee the action—keeping the energy high, the service flowing and the guests happy. You’ll still be out on the front lines, serving customers and working the bar, but you’ll have one eye on the team too. By passing on your wisdom and experience, you’ll play a key role in keeping our service levels high. At Fuller’s, we take real pride in the premium quality of our products, and you’ll feel that same sense of pride when you see our customers having a brilliant time. You’ll feel it too when you help to train staff newcomers – and see them flourish under your guidance.

Alongside the operational side of the role, we’re looking for someone ambitious, organised, proactive and creatively driven, with a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for theatre and live entertainment. This role would suit somebody excited by responsibility and eager to immerse themselves in all aspects of running and growing a busy fringe theatre operation.

The ideal candidate will be confident managing multiple projects at once, communicating professionally with creatives and performers, and working both independently and as part of a team. Flexibility, initiative, problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment are essential. Above all, we’re looking for somebody who is hungry to learn, develop and become a key part of the theatre’s future. Bar experience is ideal and social media experience is a bonus. Team spirit is vital, and it really is you and the team that set the mood of the pub. That’s why it’s important for us to have the right personalities behind the bar and in the theatre. So, while it would be great if you have previous experience of a similar role, we’re more interested in the character, ambition and personality you can bring to both the pub and theatre.
