Technical Theatre Manager

We're seeking a skilled and proactive Technical Theatre Manager to join our vibrant school, supporting a diverse programme of student productions and performances. You'll play a key role in managing all technical aspects of our theatre in the Millenium Centre – from lighting and sound to staging and maintenance – ensuring smooth, safe, and professional experiences for our students and staff.

In addition to supporting the school’s busy calendar of events, you'll oversee external companies that hire the Theatre during the school holidays, helping to maintain high standards and maximise the theatre’s use as a creative hub for the wider community.

If you’re organised, hands-on, and passionate about theatre production in an educational and commercial setting, we’d love to hear from you.

All staff receive free lunches and refreshments.
