We are looking for an Artist in Residence to complement our thriving Art Department. This role is ideally suited to an Art graduate who may be considering a future career in education, or as a practising artist.
The successful applicant would be required to work with and mentor young artists, assist with workshops and help out when required. In exchange, you will receive studio space, a flat and full board (term-time only) together with a contribution towards materials as well as the opportunity to display your own work at a minimum of two exhibitions per year.
Additionally, we offer a rewarding environment, as well as a number of notable benefits such as free on-site parking, use of our schools’ gym and pool facilities.
