Working at Depot
Here at Depot we strive to create a working environment free of bullying, harassment and discrimination – an environment where all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, where individual differences are recognised and valued. And it’s an ongoing process – we continue to challenge, review and learn every day.
Our core aims are: accessibility for all, environmental and social sustainability. Find out more.
We work hard to look after our most precious assets – our people! We offer lots of employee benefits like a great holiday entitlement, a contributory pension scheme, we pay the Lewes Living Wage at minimum (£10.20, rising to £10.90 in April 2023), Medicash scheme, free films and great staff food discounts.
We have a huge variety of job roles, both full and part time, from Technicians, Box Office roles, Chefs, Kitchen Porters, Bar and Cafe roles and many more (28 different roles to be precise). We offer training and development opportunities wherever possible and are always open to new ideas.
We welcome applications from all sections of the community. All applicants will be treated in a fair and equal manner regardless of gender, marital status, race, religion, colour, age, disability or sexual orientation. For full details on how we process your data when you apply please see our privacy policy.
If you have not worked in a cultural organisation before, or are from a background that is underrepresented in the cultural sector (e.g you have experienced racism, or come from a low income family, or live with a disability) we can help support you in your application and answer any questions you may have – just let us know.

Volunteering at Depot is a great opportunity to be part of the community, develop new skills, gain some experience and meet new people. We are looking for new volunteers who can commit to a minimum of 3 x 4 hour shifts per month and are available on some weekends.
If you are interested in taking part in the usher volunteer programme, or would like to find out more, please email Sara: [email protected]. Please include details about why you are interested in volunteering, how often you would like to volunteer and if you have any particular requirements that we need to be aware of. Sara will then arrange for a meeting to assess your suitability to the role.
