Full job description

Salary: £831.16 per week

We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Running Props Technician to support the smooth delivery of rehearsals and performances. Working closely with senior staff, you'll help prepare, maintain, and operate props, ensuring every production runs seamlessly from rehearsal room to stage.

This hands-on role involves setting and tracking props, assisting with scene changes, maintaining accurate documentation, and ensuring backstage areas remain organised, safe, and performance-ready. You'll be adaptable, collaborative, and thrive in a fast-paced live theatre environment where no two days are the same.

If you're passionate about theatre production and enjoy being part of a team that brings world-class performances to life, we'd love to hear from you.

Requirements:

Previous professional theatre experience in a prop capacity and an excellent understanding of current theatre practice
The ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with colleagues and staff at all levels
The ability to work as part of a team and independently, under minimum supervision
A proactive, flexible, collaborative and conscientious approach to work with an open mind to new or different ways of working
Excellent punctuality and a professional attitude
Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to multitask and work well under pressure

Please see our recruitment pack for full details of the role.

Application deadline: 5pm, Tuesday 21 July 2026

Interviews: Interviews will be organised based on candidate availability

Reasonable adjustments: If you require any reasonable adjustments for the application or interview process, please contact [email protected]
