The North East’s leading independent girls’ day school has an exciting opportunity to provide technical support to the performing arts departments (Dance, Drama and Music), including for major performances, and more general AV support throughout our thriving and busy, all-through (3-18) school – one of twenty-five schools in the Girls’ Day School Trust.
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, multi-skilled technician with the ability to work across all disciplines within the Performing Arts and to support with audio-visual technical requirements across the school, supporting lessons, co-curricular, outreach and a wide range of events. The appointed candidate will provide technical support for all technical requirements of all performance work and events (theatre, music, dance and other) delivered or presented in a variety of venues at both Senior School and Junior School and, occasionally, external venues. The appointed candidate will be able to support lessons, prepare, set out and clear away equipment and materials for lessons and practical sessions and activities including staging, seating, furniture, sets, costumes, props, instruments, drum kits, sound and lighting equipment.
The successful candidate will build on existing knowledge and skills to develop deep expertise in the AV equipment and software used across teaching and performance spaces throughout school to offer practical support and advice to technical audio-visual queries. The appointed candidate will be required to set up and be present for school events where audio-visual technology is required and to work alongside our ICT Support Team to provide general AV support throughout school.
This will be a rewarding role for the successful candidate and will include busy periods throughout each school year which will require exceptional communication and organisational skills to coordinate and work effectively with a variety of people, including staff, young people, visiting and resident professionals and the general public. NHSG is fully committed to providing training and support to the successful candidate.

Newcastle High School for Girls
Newcastle High School for Girls is one of the North East’s leading independent girls’ day schools. Founded in 2014 following the merger of two very long standing predecessor schools, NHSG is a state-of-the-art, modern school with a tradition and history stemming back almost 150 years.
We are an all through school (ages 3-18) with around 250 girls in the Junior School and 450 in the Senior School, including 150 in the Sixth Form, who, together with around 150 staff, make up a friendly and welcoming community.
The Junior and Senior Schools occupy their own separate campuses around a mile apart and the role will require working at both locations. Our two campuses are situated within the suburban, leafy, areas of Jesmond and Sandyford, both with excellent transport links to the Tyne & Wear Metro and bus services from across the region.
