Performing Arts Technician, Sir William Borlase's Grammar School

Required as soon as possible, a rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic technician to join the passionate Performing Arts faculty at Borlase as our Performing Arts Technician, supporting the Senior Theatre Technician and Director of Performing Arts, and working alongside all other Performing Arts staff.

This is an ideal role for someone who wishes to develop their own experience of working in a professional theatre setting, supporting the creation of high quality and varied arts productions. The role also provides the opportunity to work with young people across all the Performing Arts, including Music, Dance, Drama and Production Arts.

The Performing Arts Technician works with the Theatre Manager to ensure the smooth running and use of the purpose-built theatre, as well as providing practical support in Production Arts BTEC lessons (which currently has a cohort of 28 students). The Performing Arts Technician also works with the Director of Performing Arts and Heads of Music, Dance & Drama in assisting with the rigging and set up for practical examination work, including work which is recorded.

The Performing Arts Technician has a key role in supporting the large range of outstanding extracurricular events that are undertaken across the Arts each year, including concerts, rock shows, dance shows, plays and musical productions. The technician would also undertake technical support for external lettings.
