Technical Theatre & Stage Management Lecturer

The Arden School of Theatre is looking for a knowledgeable and passionate Multi Disciplined Technical Theatre Lecturer to join our team on a permanent, part-time (17.5 hours per week) basis.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the training and development of the next generation of theatre professionals in a creative, student-focused environment, and to be a part of our fastly growing Technical Theatre & Stage Management Course. We are looking for a multi disciplined lecturer but with a desirable focus on our Production Management, Health and Safety and Scenic Construction modules throughout L4-L6. This includes supervising the students when working on productions in Production Management and in the Scenic Workshop, but may be asked to cover some lecturing in other departments including SND or LX depending on skills and experience. You’ll play a key role in supporting students specialising in production and technical disciplines.

This is a fantastic opportunity to share your expertise, shape the next generation of theatre professionals, and contribute to a dynamic, creative learning environment. If you’re ready to inspire and lead within a forward-thinking drama school department, we’d love to hear from you.
