Every year, Nick Hern Books licenses thousands of amateur performances of NHB-published plays, helping amateur groups, schools, youth theatres and others create their own brilliant productions. With over 1,500 titles on our list, there's no shortage of exciting options!

However, there are certain shows that companies are drawn to time and time again – so we've rounded up the plays we licensed the most for amateur performance in 2023. Take a look at the results, over on our blog>>

We're currently looking for a Performing Rights Assistant to join the Nick Hern Books team and be part of facilitating productions of our plays around the world.

Working with our Performing Rights Manager, you’ll play an important role in licensing our list of over 1,000 plays for performance by amateur-theatre companies, schools, youth-theatre groups and others, as well as assisting with the day-to-day operations of the department and covering the Performing Rights Manager's duties from time to time.

This is a permanent, full-time position with a salary of £27,500 pa. Applications are now open until 12 noon GMT on Thursday 18 January – see full information about the role, plus how to apply, on our Jobs Page.
