work with us

In line with our core value of ‘Disruptive Generosity’, we operate a flat pay structure for all employees or long term freelancers.

Band A

National Living Wage.

For interns who are working with us through an official interning scheme, such as Kickstart, where the main purpose of the employment is to develop skills and experience.

Band B

£29,120 per annum plus benefits, or £172 per day.

Offered to all long term freelancers or employees of Can’t Sit Still – including performers, company manager, artistic director, creatives, marketing manager and producers.

Band C

For freelancers with whom we need to work on a short term basis to complete a specific task/piece of work. Rates of pay are specified by the freelancer and are normally determined by the industry in which they work (i.e. accountancy).

In line with our value of 'Radical Care', we are committed to doing everything we can to minimise our impact on the planet. We are keen to work with artists, partners, venues and other stakeholders to implement good practice whenever possible. We welcome discussion and feedback about how we improve our environmental sustainability.

Work
– We recycle, re-use or redistribute old sets and costumes.

– We work with our stakeholders to encourage and support each other to change behaviours which are out of tune with the planet.

– We often make food to share and discourage use of plastic in the rehearsal room and on set.

– We make shows that are adaptable and can work in less traditional spaces often on a ‘low tech needs’ basis.

Travel
– We ensure use of transport is carefully considered and limited to essential trips only.

– Public transport, walking and bicycles are used whenever possible.

– We are investigating carbon off-setting our touring mileage.

Office Systems
– We use online tools such as Zoom for meetings.

– We use remote working practices within our team, using cloud storage systems, online tools and the good ole’ phone to organise our business.

– We are making a plan to remove out of date and redundant computer files as we know we rely too much on big, power hungry servers.

– We are auditing our suppliers to assess their green credentials, and moving towards using only ethically sound businesses to supply services.

We are all trying hard to make sustainable changes. Our experience shows by asking good questions we can encourage our partners to consider their interactions and potentially support them to make changes too.

We expect the same challenge back from our colleagues and welcome ideas to improve our sustainability. In the spirit of mutual support we ask our venues to consider the following:

Paper-based marketing
Is the size of your print request appropriate for the show? Are there distribution channels in place to make best use of the print we provide? Can we minimise paper waste together?

Meetings
We love meeting our colleagues in person. However, let’s check together whether a meeting is essential and, if not, let’s find a travel-free solution that works for all of us.

Food & drink
Thanks for any drinks you might provide. We will always bring our own bottles and re-usable cups so you don’t need to supply anything in plastic bottles.

We welcome any recommendations for vegetarian / vegan food suppliers nearby. Particularly great if they’re of the local home-grown kind so we can invest in your local economy while we are with you.

Accommodation
We like to stay in BnB’s nearby and ideally with local hosts who have a relationship with your venue. Hotels tend to consume big quantities of power and plastic which we’d prefer to avoid.

​We are looking for people who are passionate about making the Arts inclusive and accessible – and are willing to share and learn.

We believe the richest, most innovative and life-changing work is created when we work with people from a wide range of backgrounds – with different cultures, faiths and lived experiences.

With this in mind we are very interested in hearing from people from the global majority, people who grew up in non-English countries and cultures, LGBTQIA+ people, those with lived experience of social or physical disabilities and chronic ill health, and people under the age of 30.
