A great opportunity to join our fabulous Theatre located at our outstanding and highly ambitious secondary school

Thank you for your interest in this post.

Our Cidermill Theatre has been open for around two years and is thriving. As such, we are looking to appoint a Senior Theatre Technician to support the theatre's planned growth. The Theatre hosts state-of-the-art facilities for students of the school and members of our local community and beyond; working in partnership to maximise the opportunities available. The Theatre comprises a flexible auditorium space with a capacity of 290, two dance and drama studios, a drama classroom, The Rhubarb Lounge, an amphitheatre and a spectacular reception area with a licenced bar.

It has taken nearly 10 years to realise this ambition but, with the full support of the School's Board of Trustees and significant financial input from a wide range of individuals, trusts and awarding bodies, the Cidermill Theatre became a reality. Along the way, we have been able to develop supportive relationships with prestigious arts organisations such as the Chipping Campden Music and Literature Festivals, Royal Shakespeare Company, Chipping Norton Theatre Trust and Longborough Opera, to name but a few.

If you decide to apply, you will be committed to working to high standards to assist in delivering fantastic internal school performing arts and music performances, and also external events. The role is also key in supporting the students in their academic practical work and examination performances.

Staff benefits

Every school and working environment is unique and ours is no exception. We have relatively high average length of service of our staff, and relatively low rate of staff turnover. Neither of these are by chance and are the product of staff feeling trusted, empowered and recognised for leading the roles they do.

Below is a list of just some of the 'pull factors' that contribute to making our school and theatre a great place to work:

An allocation of three, paid staff wellbeing days, where employees are not required to be in school Complimentary use of the school sports facilities, including gymnasium, swimming pool and fitness equipment. Comprehensive range of social events throughout the year. Freshly prepared and cooked food available on site Health and wellbeing support including access to an Employee Assistance Programme (including partners and dependents), confidential counselling services and support from our Staff Wellbeing Group, who meet regularly to ensure that our staff wellbeing is prioritised. The school is located within the beautiful Cotswold town of Chipping Campden, with friendly businesses, including a wide range of restaurants and pubs.
