Job overview
Ref: 1516/22
If you combine great communication skills with a practical hands-on approach, here’s your chance to help us provide an exceptional experience for students on our performing arts, music and media courses.
It’s certainly a wide-ranging role. One day you could be helping to plan, design, set up and programme lighting for events. The next you could be editing music, sourcing sound effects, preparing concert sound checks for bands, getting instruments ready to use, checking equipment, overseeing the studio, supporting teachers in practical workshops and more.
Plenty to keep you busy then! Which is why you’ll need to be the kind of person who’s prepared to get stuck in and do whatever’s needed to keep the department running smoothly. A relevant technical qualification at NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) is also important, along with strong teamwork skills and the ability to get on well with young people.
As an Investors in People Gold Award organisation, we’ll give you full support to build your skills and knowledge. You can also look forward to being part of a progressive and forward-thinking college with a brand new £29 million development, exceptional facilities and an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.

We educate the whole student, providing all with excellent teaching and opportunities for growth and personal development. We are recognised by Ofsted as an outstanding sixth form. We are relatively small in size, with just over 2000 students and approximately 200 staff. This means that we are a close and caring community.
We serve the whole Fylde Coast area, which includes Poulton-le-Fylde and Lytham St Annes, as well as Blackpool and the surrounding towns and villages. Blackpool Sixth is a friendly, positive and supportive place to work and is rated Grade One: Outstanding by Ofsted (2009). In 2009, we became one of the first organisations in the country to be awarded the Investors in People Gold Award. Staff are committed to the needs and aspirations of our students and supported by an extensive programme of staff development.
Staff are highly committed to the needs and aspirations of our students. The continued growth in student numbers and planned curriculum developments has enabled the sixth form to invest in new staff and new buildings. The college is designated as a Teaching School in partnership with Hodgson Academy and it's a really exciting time to be part of Blackpool Sixth.
All new staff are offered a thorough induction program; this is supplemented for Newly Qualified Teachers with a comprehensive series of training sessions throughout the academic year.
