The Production Officer (Live Performance and Events) provides high quality and specialist stage management services to the University’s theatre productions, as well as providing support to a broad range of teaching and practical activities. With proven experience in one or more stage management disciplines, the successful candidate will have a good and up to date working knowledge of theatre production processes within the live performance sector. Providing specialist support to students and staff, you will support the planning, logistics and practical delivery of theatrical productions, and will also contribute to the planning and delivery of a wide variety of projects including live events and exhibitions. Previous experience of working in an educational institution would be advantageous, while an understanding and appreciation of workplace health, safety and welfare, and the ability to work as a member of a team and independently using your own initiative are essential. Key duties of this post include supporting the effective planning, management and delivery of theatrical productions; liaising with all collaborative departments and providing an effective line of communication between rehearsal activities and wider production teams. Other duties include the delivery of stage management and health and safety workshops and demonstrations to groups of students on new and existing equipment, resources, processes and techniques; and providing production and stage management support to activities across the Live Performance and Events team. You will also contribute to the maintenance of equipment and resources; supervise health, safety and welfare concerns across the rehearsal process, and contribute to the production of relevant documentation; and provide effective and reactive support throughout the working day, often across the wider university community supporting collaborative activities and projects. You will need to be flexible in your approach to the working day and environment as this varied post supports a diverse range of individuals and projects and will entail evening and weekend working. Regular travel and transportation of resources to various university sites and external venues and locations will be required, for which a full UK driving licence is essential. You must possess GCSE minimum grade C/4, or equivalent, in English and Maths, and a level 3 qualification in a relevant related subject. You will also have either a relevant degree qualification or significant professional experience in an appropriate field.
