Are you an experienced wardrobe supervisor and maker?
Would you relish the opportunity to join our production team on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave, servicing all Italia Conti productions?
And would you enjoy working out of our brand-new purpose-built site in Woking?
We are looking for cover for the post of Deputy Head of Wardrobe on a fixed-term basis from late October 2025 until the end of the 2025-26 academic year.
Working alongside a Head of Wardrobe, the postholder – or postholders – will be instrumental in making and sourcing costumes for our shows and performances. We are open to the possibility of the post being covered full-time or, alternatively, split part-time between postholders on a job-share basis (- with each post being 3 days-per-week, 0.6FTE) so would welcome an application from you whether you are interested in taking up the post full-time or part-time and whether you apply as an individual or with a designated job-share partner.
It’s a busy role that will see you taking on the full wardrobe remit, assisting in the management and maintenance of the Italia Conti costume store, acting as a dresser, where required, for shows and performances, and working in support of the wider production team with any associated duties and responsibilities.
Your experience in wardrobe, your outstanding making skills and your innovative ideas will be used to their fullest extent as a lynchpin in the successful delivery of our stage productions. If you’d enjoy being an integral part of a small friendly team during 2025-26, the stability of a salaried post for the academic year at one of Britain’s leading performing arts training institutions and the thrill of bringing productions to fruition we’d love to hear from you.

“I have just graduated from Liverpool Theatre School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. I wanted to do the BA Hons (Top Up) in Professional Arts Practice course to further develop my skills for the industry. It is the perfect balance between academic writing and creativity. I already have seen improvements, both in my academic and performing work, and I now really value the ability to critically reflect on past experiences in order to improve my current skills.”
“I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. I find that the course is very tailored to each individual and the content is broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person within their abilities. I find the course to be a place where I can collaborate and interact with people who I’d never had met otherwise. I only look forward to what the next few months of the course bring and feel more motivated than ever.”
Current Student, Class of July 2024“The course is allowing me to reflect on my past practice, current position, and future endeavours. I really enjoy how flexible the course is, with regards to being able to tailor my studies to my own practice, enabling me to maximise the benefits of this on my future career. I expect my professional development to be impacted exponentially and I am excited to continue!”
“Italia Conti’s BA Top up course was the one for me! Creating a business in under 9 months has been a massive accomplishment! The course really helps shape your future, enables you to meet professional contacts to support your research, and gives you lots of time to understand the area of the industry you want to specialise in.”
I’m a professional dancer but have taught only ballet. These classes are EXACTLY what I was looking for to show some basics of contemp for my students !! Absolutely love every single Video
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I love every single one that she teaches. THANK YOU. Gorgeous movement.
Amazing class, one of the best I’ve ever done. So easy to follow, thank you!
I’m a dancer in LA and can’t keep up with my peers on how often they take dance classes. This channel has been so helpful for me to keep up my training. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel like we are all dancing together even though we are all doing this at different times and in different spaces. 🖤
Best ballet teacher on the internet❤ Great explanation, enthusiasm and commentary throughout the exercise!
