HIT freelancers are essential to the running of our termly drama groups and commissioned projects. As a freelancer, your tasks may include: leading weekly drama groups or projects, working towards end-of-term sharings or performances, creating workshop tools to support workshop delivery, and plenty more.
We are always looking for freelancers for a variety of roles, including but not limited to: lead facilitators, support facilitators, access facilitators, and dance and music specialists.
We are happy to receive applications from anyone to join our freelance pool. Current freelancers have experience in acting, dance, music, inclusive practice, and education. Prior training in the arts is desired but not necessary; we welcome applications from all different backgrounds. Training will be provided if needed.
HIT works across several locations in Hertfordshire, and projects that freelancers work on could come up across different areas in Hertfordshire and North London. However, HIT's regular groups happen in Borehamwood, Harrow, Hemel Hempstead, Ware, and Watford.
Freelancers with HIT have plenty of training and development opportunities. Our annual training programme has previously included training in safeguarding, first aid, BSL, inclusivity practice, de-escalation, and more. HIT also hosts regular skills-sharing days, in which staff, volunteers, and freelancers get together to work collaboratively.
Please send a CV and cover letter stating your relevant experience for the attention of Ellie Short to admin@hit-theatre.org.uk. Please let us know if you would like to communicate your CV and cover letter in a different format, for example via video.

"With HIT it's very collaborative – everybody’s ideas and input are welcome... I've learned a lot just from seeing other people deliver sessions, and that’s really helped inform how I then run my own dance company and how I want freelancers who work for me to also learn from each other."
"I have found that working alongside other HIT facilitators has been an invaluable experience for upskilling and learning new ideas for workshop delivery, as well as helping me to develop my skills in working inclusively."
