The Headmaster and CEO of Eltham College Family of Schools seeks to appoint a Theatre Technical Manager who is responsible for all technical support to the Drama Department and the wider school. This is primarily in relation to performances and events taking place within the Anthony Barnard Theatre (ABT), King George Hall (KGH), Central Hall and Chapel but may also include support at other events hosted by the school, or at external venues, where set construction, lighting and sound support are required. Whilst some evening, weekend, and school holiday work is expected, the Drama team are keen to enable the successful candidate to pursue freelance work if desired, as agreed in advance by Director of Drama.

Eltham College is a highly successful independent day school in south-east London, educating boys and girls aged 7 to 18 across both Junior and Senior Schools. The College has grown considerably over recent years: there are now over 800 students in the Senior School and around 260 pupils in the Junior School and places are heavily oversubscribed. Since 2020, girls have been able to join Years 3 and 7, mirroring the Sixth Form which has been coeducational for over 45 years. The school places an equal emphasis on academic, pastoral and co-curricular excellence and has an outstanding reputation in all three areas as well as for the friendly, unpretentious nature of daily life.
