Your Role in Building Brighter Futures

Delivering in-class AV support at Sir Bernard Lovell Academy for subjects like Creative Media, TV and Film, and Photography.

Installing, maintaining, and repairing IT and AV equipment, and managing stock and asset registers.

Advising on AV developments and coordinating equipment refreshes and installations.

Location

The AV aspect of the role would be based at Sir Bernard Lovell Academy in Oldland Common for 2 days a week during term-time. The IT aspect of the role would be based at a secondary school either the south Bristol (Bedminster Down School), Clevedon School or Keynsham (Wellsway School) areas , with potential to select according to your home location.
