The ideal candidate will have relevant experience and knowledge in sound and lighting design, stage management, and a willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, as required by school events and external bookings. The John Crooke Theatre has undergone a major renovation this Summer with a full refurbishment and new AV equipment.

There would also be the requirement to assist with other internal and external events where sound and lighting is required which may involve evening and weekend work.

The theatre is also used regularly for external lettings which would require the assistance from the Theatre and AV Technician.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Theatre and AV Technician looking to become an integral part of a vibrant Drama Department within a school setting.
