Job Description

Rose Bruford College - a world-leading conservatoire and specialist creative institution - is recruiting a Head of Production and Technical Arts to lead the next chapter of innovation in backstage, technical, and production training.
This is a forward-looking appointment. We seek a leader who can honour our craft traditions while driving bold new directions across digital production, sustainability, automation, hybrid performance, and immersive technologies.
You will lead curriculum development, oversee high-profile public productions, manage resources and budgets, and build strong partnerships across theatre, film, TV, live events, gaming, and emerging creative sectors.
Aligned to the College's Strategic Plan Adventure and Be Bold (2024-27), you will play a central role in shaping future creative industries, not just responding to them.
Reflecting that specialist creative education is a crucible for new ideas, not a skills pipeline, this role demands imagination, expertise, and ambition.
We are looking for candidates who can:

Lead innovative, future-focused curriculum design
Oversee the delivery of stage, screen, and hybrid productions
Drive sustainable production practices
Manage budgets, resources, and technical infrastructure
Build industry partnerships and pathways
Lead and inspire high-performing teams

We welcome applications from candidates from across the arts, live events, screen, and creative technology sectors.
