About the show
Journey from the sun-drenched shores of Jamaica to the cold, grey streets of 1940s London in Small Island.
A powerful and intimate portrayal of Andrea Levy’s multi award-winning novel, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson. Directed by Matthew Xia, and designed by Simon Kenny, this bold staging offers a fresh perspective on a world shaped by empire and entitlement, caught between belonging and unbelonging, disappointment and hope.
Four unforgettable characters bring this Windrush story to life: Hortense and Gilbert, determined Jamaican migrants in search of belonging and respect; Queenie, an Englishwoman who defies convention; and Bernard, her husband, struggling with change. Together, they discover love across culture, colour and class – and the fragile hope of a shared future.
Spanning decades and continents, this brand-new production draws on the joyful rhythms of calypso and the harsh realities of postwar Britain to explore the emotional truth of our collective history, brought vividly to life through music, striking visuals and a compelling story you will never forget.
The Production will open at Leeds Playhouse before transferring to Birmingham Rep and on to Nottingham Playhouse.

Making a Difference Every Day – Join Carr Gomm as a Relief Support Practitioner in Forth Valley
Are you looking for a fulfilling role that makes a positive impact in your local community? At Carr Gomm, we are offering a unique opportunity to become a Relief Support Practitioner and make a real impact in the lives of both carers and their loved ones.
About Us
Carr Gomm is a leading social care and community development charity. Our service in Forth Valley provides respite breaks to people with caring responsibilities. We believe in the power of person-centred support and the importance of ensuring that carers have the chance to take a break when needed. Our support helps to keep people in their own homes, surrounded by familiarity and comfort.
About the Role
As a Relief Support Practitioner, you’ll be the helping hand that carers rely on. Your role involves providing respite care, allowing carers the well-deserved break they need. Your time with the person you support might include chatting and spending time together, helping with simple meal preparation, and assisting with personal care tasks like washing or getting dressed. You will provide respectful support to help with their daily needs.
We value flexibility, and our support visits can be tailored to work around your other commitments, whether it’s childcare, studies, or other responsibilities.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for caring people who have a genuine passion for making a positive impact in their community. You do not need professional experience to join us. We provide comprehensive induction training to all new team members.
Working with Carr Gomm
Hear from Dion, one of our Support Practitioners in Inverness:
A typical day for me would be starting at 9.30-10.00. Then I would maybe pick up a supported person and we would go for a coffee or to the shops or stay at home and maybe do things they cannot do for themselves like make lunch, have a cup of tea. We would maybe watch some tv, listen to the radio and chat. Every supported person is different and that’s what’s great about support work every day is never the same.
I enjoy working in social care as it’s a very rewarding job. You are making a difference to someone’s life by helping them do things they cannot generally do, and they really appreciate any help you give them.
You are making such a difference to people’s lives even just by a tiny thing that you might do for them. The people I have worked with are so appreciative. Some days it doesn’t feel like work because I get on so well with everybody I have supported and taking someone just for a coffee is like a normal thing you would do with a friend, but it really means a lot to the person you support.”
Our Impact
The Carr Gomm Charity Shop supports a range of projects and activities for people we help across the Highland. Many of these initiatives focus on reducing social isolation by creating opportunities for connection and creativity within their local communities.
Apply Today
Applying to join our team as a Relief Support Practitioner is quick and straightforward. Our online application process typically takes 10-15 minutes to complete. We will ask for some essential details, including information on your previous employment and references.
We welcome applications from any candidates already eligible to work in the UK or those that can apply for a visa granting permission to work in the UK (e.g. dependent visas, ancestry etc.) that do not require sponsorship from Carr Gomm. You will be asked to share proof of this prior to receiving any offer of employment. It is currently our policy not to offer sponsorship for prospective candidates.

Disability benefits champion
What will you do?
This is a rewarding opportunity to support our clients in applying for disability and other essential benefits aimed at reducing poverty and improving lives. As a Disability benefits champion, you’ll work closely with residents to guide through the often complex and confusing process of completing various claim forms. Following the initial Citizens Advice training, you’ll join a dedicated team, working directly with clients in face-to-face settings to help them access the benefits they are entitled to.
How much time do you need to give?
The initial training takes around 1 month if you attend twice a week. We prefer people who can commit to 2 days a week for at least 6 months after completing the initial training.
What do you need to have?
No formal qualifications are required – just the right attitude and dedication. We’re looking for volunteers who:
- are friendly, caring and empathetic
- are non-judgemental and able to remain impartial
- have strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and are a good listener
- pay attention to detail
- are comfortable using computers for training, communications and writing up notes
- can work as part of a diverse team
- can handle challenging situations and use their initiative to solve problems
- will commit to the training programme and continuous professional development
We are keen to encourage volunteers who speak a community language, e.g. Arabic, Farsi, Portuguese, Bengali
You’ll also need to complete an Enhanced level DBS disclosure (criminal record check), which we will arrange. Having a criminal record does not necessarily prevent you from volunteering with us.

- Reimbursement of agreed out of pocket expenses.
Progression
There may be opportunities to progress into Assessor and Adviser roles. Assessors carry out initial assessments and are trained in the main advice areas. Advisers explore and discuss clients’ issues and options in more dept and suggest the next steps.
If you are interested in joining the advice team, then you need to be prepared for a longer commitment and training.

We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and particularly encourage applications from people with physical or mental health conditions, and people from Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) and LGBTQ+ communities.
