About the Roundhouse:

The Roundhouse is a youth charity and independent multi-arts venue based in Camden, London. We've spent the past 20 years shaping the UK’s cultural landscape as a home for world‑class music, boundary‑breaking theatre, circus, poetry and immersive installations. We're the UK’s leading creative centre for young people, engaging more than 10,000 young people annually through our creative youth programme.

The Role

As our Freelance & Entrepreneurship Programme Coordinator, you'll play a key role in delivering Roundhouse's programmes supporting young people aged 18–30 to develop their skills, build connections and establish sustainable careers within the creative industries.

You'll work directly with young creatives, freelance artists, entrepreneurs and industry professionals, helping to create engaging and accessible opportunities that respond to the needs of young people navigating creative careers. Throughout your work, you'll help ensure our programmes are inclusive, welcoming and effective in reducing the barriers young people face when entering and progressing within the creative industries.
