The Sandpit Theatre is a 266-seat arts venue based on the campus of Sandringham School, with a bright and welcoming foyer area complete with The Chalkboard Bar to provide refreshments.  Since the theatre’s opening in 2001, the venue has endeavoured to provide a cultural hub for the whole community of St. Albans and further districts, alongside its invaluable contribution to school life. Over the last 20 years the venue has grown to become ‘The Heart of Sandringham School,’ boasting a full and varied programme of performances from the school including the Whole School Show in November and Sandringham’s annual dance show ‘Velocity’ in February. These internal events are complemented by productions from local community groups, performing arts schools and touring theatre companies.   The SandPit Theatre is also an organisation member of UK Theatre, a national group of theatres which also includes the Society of London Theatres which places us in the heart of the theatre industry.  

We are looking to recruit a casual Theatre Technician to assist with the technical aspects of running the SandPit Theatre including productions, maintenance and various site-specific pieces that happen around the school campus.  Applicants need to be flexible and able to work on evenings or weekends. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who wants to join a high performing organisation and gain significant experience to further enhance their career.  Please refer to the job description for more details.

The successful candidate will:

• have relevant technical expertise in theatre
• have a passion for theatre, be enthusiastic and have a hands-on approach
• have flexibility to work evenings and weekends
• promote Sandringham’s ethos and values
