Who we are
Lighthouse is a nationally significant and regionally important multi-arts venue that is one of the cultural gems of Dorset.
At the heart of our community and locally loved. We are a dynamic, vibrant place where people feel inspired, entertained, welcomed, and where artists and performers feel supported and empowered to do their best work.
Lighthouse provides an exciting year-round programme of nationally acclaimed, high quality and diverse arts and entertainment from national, international,
The role
Primarily a receiving venue, our concert hall, theatre, studio,
cinema and galleries enable us to present a huge range of work from all art
forms and scale – from high profile artists to those starting out, from
commercial promoters to small-scale funded artists and companies. We are home
to the internationally acclaimed Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and several
arts organisations who use our venue to deliver arts activities and cultural training.
Lighthouse is a not-for-profit charitable trust and receives funding from Arts
Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) and from BCP Council
to support its charitable aims. Lighthouse is committed to a diverse board that
promotes equity, diversity and inclusion.
We are seeking new board members to support the Chair and senior
management team to drive our continuing success and fulfil our ambitions for
the future. Whilst we welcome expressions of interest from all candidates, we
are particularly keen to hear from applicants with significant experience at a
senior level in:
• Finance
• Law
• Human
Resources & People
• Commercial/Fundraising
While experience of working in an arts venue is not a requirement,
a passion for and active interest in the performing and visual arts is
essential. Trustees undertake a non-executive, voluntary role, and a minimum
term of three years’ commitment is required. In return, we provide a lively,
friendly and interesting place to contribute to, a unique opportunity to help
progress an ambitious organisation and of course opportunities to experience
many wonderful performances.
