Maths teacher and aerospace engineer looking for jobs in the southwest

Completely off topic from our theatre and film productions , we have an incredible lady in our team, who is currently seeking a full time job to start soon in the southwest. She is a qualified maths teacher (secondary school level) and a graduate in aerospace engineering.
While neither field is our area of expertise we are very happy to provide her with a glowing character reference, she is awesome, reliable, well presented and very clever.
Her involvement with us would not be at any detriment to the full time job.

If you come across any vacancies in these areas in the southwest (anywhere including and west of Bristol) please let us know so we can forward the information to her so she can apply.

Thank you so much.

The Scarlet Pimpernel is coming to Cygnet Theatre,in on Friday June 19th, after a great opening run at Brixham Theatre last weekend. Our lovely lighting tech Claire got this picture of us all in the Princess Of Wales’s ball scene of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
All these ball gowns and suits were made to 18th century designs with fabrics which were fabric offcuts, old duvet covers and curtains from local charity shops (especially from Brixham Charity Shop The Mare and Foal Sanctuary and Brixham charity shop ) and freecycle etc.

The costumes are even more amazing close up.

Costuming was spearheaded by Bethany Ward and then Margot Belcher Carol Ann Robinson Marie Buckfield, Fran and Laura Jury also came in as her sewing team working our butts into the dust to make them up before and after rehearsals.
