The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant, forward-thinking school community and play a central role in shaping how our students experience Performing Arts. At Royal High Bath, girls are at the heart of everything we do — their curiosity, confidence, and creativity drive our purpose. We honour tradition while embracing innovation, creating an environment where young people feel empowered to explore, express, and excel. Our Performing Arts provision is a cornerstone of that mission: a place where imagination is encouraged, skills are nurtured, and girls support one another as they grow into bold, compassionate performers and collaborators.
As Performing Arts Technician, you will bring the magic of performance to life. You’ll inspire creativity by delivering exceptional technical support across lighting, sound, projection, and theatre technologies, ensuring every production, lesson, and event is polished, professional, and memorable. Your expertise will elevate the quality of our performance experiences and enable students to shine — whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the classroom. If you’re excited by the idea of enabling outstanding creative work and being part of a school that champions ambition, inclusivity, and a life unlimited, this role offers a truly rewarding next step.
