Careers & Volunteering
Be part of our story
The team at Lowry, from volunteers to senior staff, make everything that we achieve possible. Together we want to “make it count” and unlock the benefits of creativity for everyone.
Lowry is committed to creating an inclusive workforce by reflecting and representing the diversity of Salford and the UK. We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of The Lowry – whether that is to work in our creative or support roles.
We particularly encourage applications from the following two people groups who are currently under-represented in our work force and in the wider performing and visual arts sector; those people who experience racism and marginalisation, including those from African, Caribbean, North African, LatinX, South Asian, East Asian and South East Asian heritage and their diasporas, those who are disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent or have long-term health conditions. For more information, read our EDI policy.

Volunteer for us
The Lowry operates one of the largest volunteer programmes of any cultural venue in the country. It has been an integral part of The Lowry’s Front of House operation since we first opened our doors in April 2000.
The primary role of the VIPs is to provide excellent customer service to The Lowry’s theatre patrons. They act as ushers and fire marshals for the venue’s three theatre spaces, sell programmes and merchandise, provide a cloakroom service and assist in other operational duties as required by the Front of House management team.
They also act as ambassadors for The Lowry, promoting the artistic programme and our learning and engagement work within their own networks and on behalf of the organisation at promotional events.
Application details will appear below when recruitment for VIPs takes place.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with The Lowry. We are currently not recruiting for new volunteers. Please watch this space for further updates.
