Graduate Assistant (Drama)

St Edward’s seeks to appoint a Graduate Assistant to join our vibrant Drama Department from September 2024 for one academic year, with the possibility of extension for a second year in September 2025. 

As well as assisting the Drama department in delivering a diverse programme of curricular Drama, Graduate Assistants play a full part in the boarding and co-curricular life of the School. Their work is varied, and that variety is, to some extent, determined by the personality, enthusiasm and skills of the individual.

The post has become a successful springboard for those considering a career in teaching. Many of our former Graduate Assistants have gone on to promising careers in major schools nationwide. The School encourages its Graduate Assistants to extend their experience by attending relevant training courses, at the School’s expense. 

The successful candidate will possess a good honours degree and demonstrate experience of having participated in a wide range of theatre, as an actor, in a stage management role or as a facilitator of drama education. Excellent organisational, administrative and communication skills with the ability to relate to pupils, parents, and staff are also essential.
