Woldingham School, Woldingham, Caterham CR3 7YA

We are looking for an excellent Technician to support the theatre and audio-visual requirements in this busy school. Together with one other Theatre Technician and Theatre Manager, this post will provide an efficient service for the whole school campus, and essential technical support in the Millennium Centre which contains the main auditorium (584 seats), recital room and drama studio.

You will need strong communication and IT skills along with a practical and resourceful approach with the confidence to use your initiative when needed. 

Woldingham is a happy and successful Catholic boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18 and is firmly established as one of the top girls’ independent schools in the UK, outperforming many schools that are far more selective in their admissions process. Central to this achievement is Woldingham’s academic enrichment and extra-curricular programmes, pastoral support and caring community. Close to London, yet in an outstandingly beautiful rural setting, Woldingham has a strong community and culture building on a proud heritage that stretches back 175 years. We are committed to an exciting future that is underpinned by fresh ideas, an innovative spirit and state-of-the-art facilities.

All staff receive free lunches and refreshments. 

Our professional team of staff is Woldingham’s greatest asset, and we want to ensure that everyone is supported to work in an effective, enjoyable and fulfilling way. Staff Development is a high priority, with induction and mentoring programmes for Newly Qualified Teachers and new colleagues, plus an annual cycle of Personal Professional Development planning for all colleagues.

Staff are welcome to use our range of outstanding facilities including the gym, squash and tennis courts and the swimming pool. Our Staffroom Committee organises regular social events, and individual members of staff have organised yoga classes and reflexology on site.
