1 month ago


Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds Beckett University Full time

We are looking to appoint a skilled and multi-disciplined technician, with a background in technical theatre, to support the day-to-day operations of Performing Arts activities at Leeds Beckett University.  The team supports the teaching and learning activities of both staff and students working within the area with practical help and advice as well as providing technical support to the wider University events program as required.  The appointment comes at an exciting time for the school, with our recent move into our new state of the art Leeds School of Arts building.

With at least five year’s demonstrable experience of technical theatre, you will contribute to all aspects of technical support for our five performance spaces including the theatre and black box.  You should have experience in the various technical disciplines that contribute to production and performance – including: AV installation and problem solving; ETC Eos Programming; QLab Programming; Digital Sound Console Operation; Dante/Networking; Rigging; and Stagecraft. All candidates must have excellent communication skills in an end-client environment to provide a customer focused service both as a lone operator and as part of a team. As a member of the Performing Arts support team your skills will be used in both performance and classroom environments to assist in the smooth running of the day-to-day service as well as public performances and visiting productions.

You will be required to provide advice and assistance to academic staff on the future development of learning resources and procedures, and in the preparation and basic repair of equipment and the safe working practices within a professional performance environment, including experience in current Health and Safety legislation and practices.

You will also be required to work closely and proactively with learning support colleagues in the wider School teams to provide an integrated service and thus a flexible approach to work location will be required.

To arrange an informal discussion about this post, please contact Andy Solomon at a.j.solomon@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

Closing date: 15 April 2024 (23:59) Please note that you will not be able to edit or submit a part-completed application form after the closing date. 

Working here means you’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits including our generous pension schemes, excellent holiday entitlements, flexible working, reduced study fees, subsidised fitness facilities and a lot more.

We welcome applications from all individuals and particularly from black and minority ethnic candidates as members of these groups are currently under-represented at this level of post. All appointments will be based on merit.
