Welcome to the Careers page for Downtown Pompey – a queer-led, performance-based arts organisation in Portsmouth using creativity, community and storytelling to amplify diverse voices and build inclusive cultural experiences. Here you’ll find our current opportunities to work with us, contribute your skills and passion, and be part of an organisation committed to collaboration, equity and exploratory art-making that breaks down barriers and celebrates the richness of our shared stories.
Downtown Pompey Trustee
We are seeking trustees who can bring their skills, experience and passion to support Downtown Pompey’s development as a leading regional and national queer-led theatre and arts organisation.
At this stage in Downtown Pompey’s development, we are looking to build a holistic and skilled board of trustees that brings together a breadth and depth of experience. We recognise that depth of experience. We recognise that no single trustee will have every skill listed, and we welcome applications from individuals who bring particular strengths or specialisms.
As we continue to develop the board, we will be recruiting to fill any gaps in experience, ensuring the board as a whole reflects a diverse range of perspectives, skills, and lived experiences.

Downtown Pompey Design Commission
As we enter a new chapter of organisational growth, we’re seeking a design studio to help shape how Downtown Pompey looks, feels, and speaks to the world. We are looking for a freelance designer, studio or collective to lead a strategic rebrand and redevelopment of our website.
We want a brand identity that reflects our artistic and cultural organisation making bold, socially ambition, values and future direction as we engaged performance and heritage projects prepare for long-term growth.
We have spent the last 6 months developing our new messaging and scope and are at a point where we are focused on bringing that to life. We welcome applications from people interested in brand identity, website design/development, or both. Applicants may propose either a combined approach or a focused commission. If we appoint two separate suppliers, both must be willing to collaborate closely to ensure visual coherence and a unified Downtown Pompey identity.
