Are you an experienced multi-skilled Venue Technician? Would you relish the opportunity to run the technical aspects of a brand new multi-purpose venue? Do you love supporting emerging talent and new work? If your answer is yes, then we’d love to hear from you!
The Nest is an entirely new third space at CFT with sustainability and education at its heart, made from a structure previously located at the Pleasance Theatre in London and used at the Edinburgh Festival. Upgraded to be usable year-round and fully wheelchair accessible, this 119-seater studio will have a thrust stage to match our other theatres, but with the flexibility to be end on or even flat floor. Designed to complement our existing spaces and sited between the Festival Theatre and Northgate car park, The Nest will offer a dynamic venue to support artists and technicians at the beginning of their careers and offer entertainment for a younger audience.
We are looking for a dynamic and energetic Venue Technician to look after all the technical aspects of a varied programme of new homegrown work, an eclectic mix of visiting comedy, music, theatre, dance, and community work. The ethos of the venue is to support emerging talent, and this role will also lead and support emerging technicians from our Technical Youth Theatre and Apprenticeship programmes, including teaching and mentoring along the way.
To apply please send your CV and a covering letter, or video, to recruitment@cft.org.uk by the deadline, quoting job reference: 2502NT in the subject line. In your covering letter or video, please let us know why you are applying for the role, what excites you about joining CFT and how your experience and skills match the person specification.
