This is a fantastic opportunity for a Music & Drama Technician who wishes to become an integral part of the Music & Performing Arts departments within a secondary school setting. Our Music and Performing Arts departments are lively and creative with a talented and dedicated team of teachers with a passion for their subject. You will be creative, organised and technically minded with experience of using lighting and sound systems. You will need to relate well to young people. You will need to be flexible with hours - to fit the needs of the curriculum, and be available for the occasional evening work to cover performances. If you are passionate about working with students and encouraging their love of the arts and can effectively contribute to the school's popular and successful music and drama productions, then we would love to hear from you.
