Graduate Assistant - Lighting Technician (in Residence)

This is a fixed-term appointment running from 1 September 2023 through to 30 June 2024.

If you have a passion for lighting design and are keen to experience life, working at a busy co-education boarding school, then becoming a Graduate Assistant at Marlborough College could be for you. 

Marlborough’s vibrant community of Graduate Assistants are an invaluable part of College life; supporting pupils with activities beyond the classroom. A key element of this rewarding opportunity is to encourage and mentor pupils on and off campus ensuring that their health, safety and welfare are protected.

A Graduate (or recognised alternative) with a specialism directly relevant to lighting design/program development, you will be energetic, enthusiastic, have a natural rapport with young people as well as a genuine interest in, and commitment to, their care and development. Joining us for an academic year, you will be immersed in the life of a busy boarding school with a salary package that includes accommodation and all meals during term-time, but more importantly offers a fantastic opportunity and fulfilling experience.

Key Purpose:

The Lighting Technician-in-Residence provides essential support to the production of a diverse range of theatre projects across our three performance spaces. This post will appeal to those who seek to share their designing skills with young people, whilst working as part of a team in a stimulating and well equipped environment.

The nature of our production team requires a person who can offer a wide range of skills; whilst we would not expect all these areas of expertise we would be interested to hear from candidates who could offer support in one or more of these areas.

• Lighting Design
• AV Design and support
• Programming (ETC Ion)
• IT skills (Microsoft and Apple)
