We are looking for a talented and passionate individual who is able to maintain and further develop the performance capabilities of our theatre and ensure that it meets the needs of our different users. The theatre is a fantastic performance space and is highly used by the school and a diverse range of community groups. You will be responsible for all aspects of the theatre, including its use, its equipment and supporting its future development. You will need technical knowledge, relevant theatre experience and a real passion for supporting performing arts.

You will need to be comfortable working to a flexible timetable based around the requirements of the school and community use of the theatre to support the smooth running of lessons, rehearsals, performances, events and external bookings.

This is a challenging but very rewarding job and the person appointed will need to be committed, creative, dynamic and willing to work hard. The successful applicant will become part of both the Performance Department at Countesthorpe Academy and the LiFE Multi Academy Trust Facility Hire team who will both provide a welcoming and friendly place to work.
