The National Theatre presents an eclectic mix of new plays and classics. Over the year we create around 22 productions that aim to reflect the diversity of our culture on the stages.

Almost all productions are allocated a Costume Buyer whose role it is to assist the freelance Costume Supervisor and Designer with any buying requirements and offer support during the production period.

We are currently recruiting for a Trainee Costume Buyer to join the Costume Department on a 12-month fixed-term contract. The Trainee Costume Buyer will primarily work alongside the costume buyers and stock co-ordinator and gain valuable experience through assisting and shadowing them in all aspects of their duties over the year.

After the year, the aim is for the trainee to be able to go forward independently into the industry with enhanced skills and experience towards a future career in costume buying/assisting and supervising for theatre, film or TV.
