Crynodeb
We are recruiting for a proactive and hands-on Estates Assistant to join our dedicated Estates team at the Marlowe Theatre. Based across our unique venues, including the Marlowe Theatre and the historic Poor Priests’ Hospital, you’ll play a key role in helping us provide a safe, welcoming and well-maintained environment for our audiences, staff, and visiting companies. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and making a visible impact each day.
The role is central to maintaining the quality and safety of our buildings and grounds. You'll carry out planned and reactive maintenance, support inspections and compliance programs and help keep our records accurate and up to date. From unlocking premises and supporting emergency procedures, to helping with security and general caretaking duties, no two days will be the same. We’re looking for someone with a good level of practical skills in areas like decorating, plumbing, carpentry or electrics and who is comfortable using hand and power tools. Some knowledge of building systems and health and safety regulations will be an advantage.
At the Marlowe Theatre, we are passionate, inclusive, collaborative and supportive. We’re seeking someone who shares these values and enjoys working as part of a busy and friendly team. In return, we offer training opportunities, flexible working options and the chance to develop your skills in one of the region’s leading cultural organisations. If you’re practical, reliable and ready to contribute to an exciting and evolving estate, we’d love to hear from you.
About Us
The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury is one of the UK’s most successful large-scale regional theatres (UK Theatre of the Year in the Stage Awards 2022). Our mission is to be the engine house for the performing arts in Kent, shaping the spirit of our region.
We bring West End musicals, national companies, a symphony orchestra season and high-profile tours to Kent audiences, in a year-round programme of theatre, dance, opera, music and comedy in our 1,200-seat Main House. This year we begin producing large-scale plays made in Kent and touring nationally. Our 150-seat Studio is dedicated to the development of new ideas, with a mix of R&D with resident and visiting companies, sharings and presented shows.
Our ground-breaking work with young people focuses on skills development and includes co-delivery of a UAL Level 3 Performing Arts course with East Kent Colleges Group; being the national home of Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures’ Cygnet School and the RSC’s Associate Theatre in the South East. We launched our Writers’ Room, developing regional talent and supporting our producing aspirations. As the largest performing arts employer in the region, we are committed to developing the workforce of the future, providing apprenticeships and work experience opportunities for over 100 young people every year across all areas of theatre-making.
We are also fast outgrowing our spaces and developing major capital projects as a result, including turning the 800-year-old Poor Priests’ Hospital within the city walls into a Creative Learning Centre and free heritage destination, with support from Levelling Up and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We are also looking towards the long-term development of our theatre building, increasing our technical and producing capacity.
Our investment in our loyalty strategy has ensured that we have consistently strong and engaged audiences for our varied programme. We’ve also received recognition from our industry, winning a Stage Award for our innovative approach to supporting the theatre sector and a Workforce Award from UK Theatre for our investment in our People Plan, ensuring our high calibre team are rewarded and supported.
The Marlowe Theatre is an inclusive and disability confident employer. We value difference and recruit by merit based on fair and open competition.
We welcome candidates from all backgrounds regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes them unique. We want to hear from all sectors including veterans.
We are a Creative Green organisation and are committed to taking action on climate change and environmental sustainability.
