The role
Pass on your skills & experience to the students of RADA and join our busy Sound Department
We are looking for an experienced Theatre Sound Professional to share in the training of our technical theatre students and to participate in the ongoing maintenance, upgrade and improvement of The Sound Department.
The role will be primarily focussed on the mentoring and monitoring of the development of our TTSM students, giving regular assessments and feedback, and attending meetings in support of the students’ learning and welfare.
RADA runs a two-year FDA course in Technical Theatre Arts and Stage Management, with an optional subsequent completion year to progress the award to a BA. Teaching is distributed across all years, with the majority of the initial teaching taking place in the first year.
Much of the tuition is in the form of mentoring the students as they work on public productions in our three theatres, with this taking place from the start of the course.
The role requires a committed, self-motivated person who works well in a team and can lead diplomatically, confidently and with care and attention to furthering RADA’s goals of creating dedicated, confident and skilled Theatre Professionals.
