Job Description
Are you a skilled theatre technician ready for a new role? If you thrive in a collaborative environment, and are excited about the opportunity to support our vibrant productions and be part of a dedicated in-house team, we’d love to hear from you!
We are looking for a Theatre Technician and a Senior Technician to join our busy production department—the beating heart of our much-loved producing theatre. In this pivotal role, you will focus on the delivery of the day to day technical operations.
Key Responsibilities:
• Support the successful staging of our produced work, visiting company productions, and community projects.
• Collaborate and guide a talented in-house production team.
• Ensure the smooth operation of the department while promoting good working practices and maintaining high production values.
What We’re Looking For:
• A skilled technician with experience of working in theatre
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• A genuine passion for the arts and a desire to inspire others
Whilst our technicians need to be good all-rounders, we are particularly interested in technicians with skills in Lighting and Sound.
Join us in our award-winning arts organisation, valued locally, regionally, and nationally.
There are two roles available. One Theatre Technician and one Senior Technician. Both roles are full-time permanent roles, working 40 hours per week. We are willing to explore a job-share or part-time working for the right candidate(s). Shift times vary, and will include regular evenings and weekends.
Please indicate on your application which role you are applying for.
We’d love applications from people of all backgrounds, especially from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as D/deaf and disabled people, neurodivergent people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We are up for exploring support and development needs and will make reasonable adjustments to enable applicants to participate in the selection process, and for the successful applicant to carry out their role.
If you need us to make any adjustments to allow you to fully participate, would like an informal and confidential discussion about the position, or if you would like the candidate pack in different accessible formats please contact Lucy Parker lparker@wolseytheatre.co.uk
