Wycombe Swan High Wycombe

The Wycombe Swan in High Wycombe is one of Buckinghamshire's leading live entertainment venues with a wide array of top-quality musicals, drama, comedy, dance, family shows, one-night events, and pantomime.

Old Town Hall in Wycombe is a smart, distinctive, multi-use space with staging and seating and its own fully licensed bar. Perfect for conferences or parties.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

As the first point of contact for cast, crew, visitors and VIPs, the Stage Door Keeper is the friendly face that greets everyone with a beaming smile and a warm welcome. They know the ins and outs of the theatre, from the backstage corridors to the best coffee spots nearby.

With a keen eye for detail, they ensure that only authorised personnel enter, keeping the backstage area a safe haven for creativity. The Stage Door Keeper is also a master of multitasking. They juggle phone calls, manage deliveries, and sometimes even lend a sympathetic ear to a nervous actor before a big performance.

The stage door keeper will play a pivotal role in monitoring our fire panel and alarm systems. The shifts can include early starts and late-night finishes to conduct venue exterior and interior walkarounds including locking and unlocking rooms across all levels of the site.
