The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be. It is a place where creatives have been gathering to imagine storytelling differently, and where experimental thinking is front and centre. At a time when the world and our own nation grow increasingly insular, we believe it is important to foster communication and understanding across borders, across languages, across cultures. The Gate works with artists in the UK to tell stories from beyond our borders, celebrating the multiplicity of identity within our artists and our audiences through the power of theatre. As a home for new voices and new ideas, we also have a reputation as a training theatre. Gate shows enable artists to take risks and to develop and advance their own talent, and their own professional journey, by making high quality work that moves the artform and the sector forward. The monumental events of the pandemic have drastically changed the theatre landscape and ecology, with its effects being keenly felt through unpredictable audience behaviour, and rising costs. As the nation navigates the cost-of-living crisis, the arts continue to face devastating funding cuts and challenges, including the withdrawal of much local council arts provision and the increasing competition for resources across trusts and foundations At the Gate, we have used this moment of transition to interrogate both our founding mission and what the needs of the sector are today.

Shape public policy. Safeguard professional standards. Lead a profession towards the statutory recognition it deserves. Not every Chief Executive role involves influencing government, protecting professional standards and occasionally resolving a registrant query before the end of the day. After seven years, Mike Orlov is retiring as Chief Executive and Registrar of the National Register of Public Service Interpreters. The Board is now seeking a successor who can continue strengthening the organisation and raising the profile and importance of professional interpreters working across public services. NRPSI is the independent voluntary regulator and national register for public service interpreters in the United Kingdom. It sets professional standards, upholds accountability and provides assurance to public sector organisations, including the Ministry of Justice, the Metropolitan Police and NHS bodies, in settings where interpreters are relied upon in critical situations. In these environments, clear communication is essential. When it fails, the consequences can affect legal outcomes, safeguarding decisions and, in some situations, lives. The organisation is entering an important moment in its development. The House of Lords Public Services Committee's 2025 report on interpreting services in the courts has brought renewed national attention to the role that professional interpreters play across justice, policing and healthcare. At the same time, NRPSI continues to advance the longer-term ambition of statutory regulation and protection of title for Registered Public Service Interpreters. As Victor Olowe, Chair of NRPSI, puts it: "This is an important moment for NRPSI and for the wider profession, particularly following the House of Lords 2025 report and the government's commitment to address some of its key recommendations." As Chief Executive and Registrar, you'll engage with senior stakeholders across government and public services while leading a specialist, long-standing team responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Register and the standards that underpin it. Drawing on your experience, you'll help shape the organisation's next stage of development and strengthen the role NRPSI plays in safeguarding the public through professional interpreting standards. The Role Stepping into this role, you'll be accountable to the Board for the governance, strategic direction and operational leadership of the organisation. This is a hands-on leadership role, working closely with the Chair and Board to shape the organisation's strategy and priorities, while ensuring the Register continues to operate with credibility, integrity and independence. You'll have direct responsibility for the integrity of the Register itself. This includes oversight of registration, renewals, complaints and disciplinary processes, as well as responsibility for ensuring the organisation's Code of Professional Conduct and regulatory framework remain robust and fit for purpose. With your experience, moving between strategic and operational ground will come naturally to you. One week you may be engaging with senior civil servants or government departments about the importance of professional interpreting standards. The next you may be reviewing operational processes, supporting your team in the delivery of the Register's core functions or ensuring the organisation's financial position remains sustainable. Your team works mainly remotely and are all long-standing, dedicated and experienced, responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Register. Working in a remote-first environment, continuing a culture of collaboration, accountability and professional development while ensuring the organisation continues to deliver high standards of service is high on the list of priorities. Externally, you'll act as the senior voice of NRPSI. What does this mean in reality? Engaging with stakeholders across justice, policing, healthcare and central government, representing the organisation's perspective clearly and authoritatively. This could include contributing to sector discussions, building relationships with policymakers and making the case for why professional interpreting standards matter to public safety and effective public services, or posting on LinkedIn and social channels, giving updates or hosting town halls for registrants. The role also sees you supporting the organisation's longer-term ambition of achieving statutory regulation and protection of title for Registered Public Service Interpreters, a goal that will genuinely benefit from the right leader's credibility and persistence. Financial sustainability also sits within your remit. NRPSI is funded through registration fees paid by interpreters, and you'll oversee the organisation's finances while ensuring resources are used effectively to deliver its strategic priorities. Alongside this, you'll maintain oversight of operational systems and processes, identifying opportunities to improve resilience, efficiency and the effective use of digital tools. The Person This is a role that calls for someone who has operated at senior or director level within a charity, not-for-profit organisation, professional body, regulatory organisation, membership association or comparable public service environment. Someone who understands the responsibilities that come with leading an organisation whose work centres on professional standards, governance and public protection, and who brings the credibility, judgement and experience required to engage effectively with a diverse group of stakeholders including government departments, public sector organisations, registrants and sector partners. A collaborative, trust-based leadership style will be just as important: someone equally comfortable exercising independent judgement as they are balancing strategic thinking with practical delivery in a specialist organisation where both are needed in equal measure. You'll bring most of the following: Senior leadership experience at director level or above within a charity, professional body, membership organisation, regulatory body or public service environment Experience influencing government policy or engaging with commissioners of public spending Experience developing or improving regulatory, registration or accreditation processes The ability to represent an organisation clearly and confidently in public, including engaging with senior civil servants, sector stakeholders and the media Financial literacy and experience overseeing organisational budgets and sustainability Experience developing and delivering strategy and operational plans Confidence using digital systems, data and communication platforms to support organisational priorities Understanding of, or experience in, a registrar or equivalent function within a professional, regulatory or standards body, including accountability for the integrity of registration processes and criteria Desirable Familiarity with public affairs, policy engagement or advocacy work would be advantageous, as would exposure to justice, policing, healthcare or public service environments. Experience navigating politically sensitive or contested professional environments, including managing public criticism, would also be beneficial. A second language would be welcomed. Above all, you'll share a commitment to the public interest and the role professional interpreting plays in ensuring fair access to justice and public services. A full candidate pack accompanies this ad and is also available to view on the NRPSI and House Recruitment LinkedIn company pages.
