What skills and experience we're looking for
Parkside Community College is now seeking a talented Music Technician to join their Create team. In this varied role, you will be an integral part of the team, facilitating the smooth running of the department. You will be hardworking, energetic and highly enthusiastic about music and music technology.

Good knowledge of Music software is a must, as is an understanding of how to ‘tech’ live performance and maintain generic ‘pop’ instruments and equipment. An interest in composition would be helpful.
