Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning, preparing and delivering high-quality teaching across performing arts programmes.

  • Contributing to curriculum development and the ongoing improvement of teaching resources.
  • Maintaining a safe and effective learning environment.
  • Maintaining accurate records of learner progress and achievement.

What We're Looking For

  • Practical experience within the performing arts industry
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to motivate and engage learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • An assessor qualification
  • Previous experience of teaching or training in a further education setting

If you're ready to bring your industry experience into the classroom and help learners take their first steps on stage, we'd love to hear from you.
