Job Overview

Birmingham Ormiston Academy (BOA) is a 14 to 19 academy specialising in Creative, Digital and Performing Arts. The Academy opened in September 2011 and has over 1000 students. BOA is 100% selective and students must earn a place on their chosen arts pathway through an aptitude process which means they value their place at the academy. As a result, behaviour and attitudes to learning are excellent.

We are rightly proud of our most recent Ofsted report (May 2023) which gives a true picture of what life in the academy is like. We highly recommend that you read the report before applying and that you book a tour with a member of the senor leadership team to get a feel for our ethos, to meet our fantastic students, and to gain an impression of the learning environment. Our report can be found here: (https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50223511)

We are delighted to offer this exciting opportunity to support all BOA showcases and productions as part of the Technical Theatre team. We are looking to appoint somebody with previous experience who has ideally carried out a similar role in a working theatre or school environment. The ideal candidate will have a genuine interest in the performing arts and technical theatre arts, as well as possessing a strong creative background.

We are looking for someone who has:

- Proven experience of live sound mixing, desk programming and temporary installation

- Proven ability to operate and programme lighting control panels to an advanced standard (experience of ETC EOS family and ION series lighting desks is essential)

- Experience in sound design, including choosing specifications for productions is desirable

- Understanding of current design software and ability to effectively interpret plans

- A good working knowledge of fundamental electrical practice and theory (industry recognised qualifications would be an advantage)

- A good working knowledge of health and safety practices, including working at heights

- Experience of production management for shows and showcases

- A specialism and background in sound is desirable

NB: Please also read the attached Job Description and Person Specification

In return, we can offer:

- A stimulating working environment with well-motivated staff and students

- Experience of working across a broad range of arts pathways to produce high quality shows and showcases

- Professional development opportunities

Annual Salary:

- £26,016 (SSP4) to £31,015 (SSP15) - Pay Scales 2026

- Local government pension scheme

Holiday and paid leave:

- 24 days' holiday entitlement per academic year plus all bank holidays as paid leave

- Time-of-in-lieu (TOIL) for any overtime

- This role allows the successful candidate to request annual leave during term time, through negotiation

This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to the future of education within a world class academy. If you share the academy’s vision and ambitions, possess a strong desire to work within an ethos of creative collaboration and partnership and want to have a positive impact on young people, families and the community then we would be delighted to hear from you.

We reserve the right to interview ahead of the closing date if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
