Casual hours as and when required

with flexibility to work occasional weekends and evenings

The role. You will work broadly to support different elements of the production process, working collaboratively with colleagues, freelance creatives and pupils across a series of productions and events throughout the School year. Safety will be a priority whilst you ensure all areas of the theatre are tidy and well maintained, and as you undertake manual tasks in setting up spaces and equipment. You will share your expertise when mentoring the boys who are gaining experience in all elements of a theatre production. During performances you will attend in a technical, fire warden or front-of-house capacity to assist with the smooth running and success of the productions.

The skills. This is a good opportunity for someone who would like to develop their technical and production skillsets within a busy, creative and supportive environment. Enthusiasm for working with young people is essential, as is working in a collaborative environment with a rapid turnover of work. Your knowledge of programming and operating lighting and sound consoles will be essential as will be your strong ability to plan and prioritise.
