Warwick Arts Centre is one of the largest arts centres in the UK, presenting a year-round programme of theatre, dance, music, comedy, film and visual art. Behind every performance is a technical team that makes it happen, and we're looking for an Assistant Theatre Technician with a sound bias to join us.
You’ll be working as part of a multi-skilled technical team. Whilst your focus will be sound, assisting to rig, focus and operate sound systems across all our performance spaces, the role covers the other departments: stage, lighting, AV and workshop, to support the wide programme of events that take place at the arts centre.
No two days look the same. One might be a touring dance company, the next a comedy night, a conference or a film screening. You’ll work independently on allocated activities, supervise casual and freelance staff when needed, maintain equipment, fault‑find under pressure, and help keep our venues safe and compliant with health, safety and licensing requirements.
Online Information Session
Join our Technical Manager and Technical Co‑ordinator for an online information session. They will share details about Warwick Arts Centre, the role and objectives, and the application process. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. If you cannot attend, we recommend registering so you can receive a copy of the session directly to your inbox the following day.
Whichever way you travel to the Arts Centre, find out how best to reach us including information on public transport and accessible parking. We strive to make our Arts Centre a place where everyone can meet. We're continuously improving our building and offer to make it as accessible as possible.
