Job overview
Working under our Head of Drama (Prep school) and Director of Drama and Performing Arts (Senior school), we are looking to appoint a dynamic and forward-thinking person who not only has their own personal passion and skills for drama but is also able to translate that effectively in a teaching environment for the enjoyment and benefit of all children, whatever their own current level.
The successful applicant will use their talents to help enrich the quality of a wide range of dramatic opportunities for the children, be a role model and add proportionally to the vibrant life of our day and boarding school. Whilst this is predominantly a Prep based role, in all things we aim to maximise the benefits of our 'one school, two sites' connection with our senior school, King's College and it is anticipated that the role will likely include around three days at the Prep and one day at the senior school.
In return, we can guarantee you a strong and hugely rewarding culture of enthusiasm for drama, collaborative effort and an awareness that life should be enjoyable for the staff as well as the children!
For an application pack, please contact the HR Department on 01823 328105/328231 or email: CSweet@kings-taunton.co.uk or SLMatthews@kings-taunton.co.uk
Closing Date: Thursday 9th May 2024
