Head of Theatre Operations

We are looking for a Head of Theatre Operations who will be fully responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Edward Alleyn Building (EAB) which includes our RIBA award winning 350-seat theatre.

The Head of Theatre Operations will be responsible for the full operational life of the building, including staffing, training, front of house, food & beverage, technical operations, compliance, and health & safety under the direction of the Head of Events and working alongside academic and commercial stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will therefore need to have experience in managing theatre operations, including front and back of house, a strong knowledge of theatre production processes (stage management, lighting, sound and technical equipment), and experience of leading and managing a team and a budget.

This is a full time permanent role which will require some flexible working to meet the needs of events. The salary available will range from £43,000 to £48,000 depending on experience and qualifications.

All staff enjoy access to superb facilities and resources, as well as variety of great benefits which are detailed in the Job Description and in our ‘Working at Alleyn’s’ brochure.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Alleyn’s welcomes applications from all applicants who meet the requirements for the position, however we are especially keen to receive applications from those in minority groups for which the School is currently underrepresented. We celebrate diversity and thrive on the benefits it brings.
