The role

The College is looking to appoint a part-time Media Technician (term-time only) to provide high quality support to both staff and students, providing technical expertise and maintaining specialist equipment. The successful applicant will be proactive, technically skilled, approachable and passionate about media production and education, who can contribute positively to a collaborative and creative departmental environment.

This position involves a strong focus on supporting teaching and learning, providing hands-on technical support to both staff and students, and will assist in group workshops focused on filming, editing and the use of relevant software, therefore enabling students to develop practical media production skills and overcome technical challenges. The successful candidate will develop supporting resources, such as user guides and troubleshooting materials, to enable students to work more independently and confidently with media equipment and software and will be responsible for the maintenance and management of audio-visual equipment.

We are looking for exceptional candidates who can inspire our students and contribute positively to the department. We expect high performance from all our staff and candidates should demonstrate both their suitability for the role and their alignment with the College’s values.

The Department

The Media and Film Department is a vibrant and highly successful area of the college. Following successful student recruitment the department offers a wide range of A Level and Vocational courses, all of which require students to create print and moving image productions. Wider opportunities are offered to students outside of the curriculum, with students regularly entering National Film Competitions and producing projects for local community groups.

The department is located on the ground floor of the main College building and offers 3 spacious classrooms, an editing suite, Media Studio and a department workroom, and the team consists of a Head of Department plus 5 teaching staff.
