BTEC Acting/Drama teacher

Arts Educational Schools seeks to appoint, from January 2017, an outstanding Drama specialist to teach within the highly successful BTEC Department at one of the country’s most exciting Performing Arts schools.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented practitioner who has taught Drama to examination level and who has experience in the delivery and the assessment of the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma, or a keen willingness to add this to their professional development.  This new post is a result of the expansion of the BTEC Performing Arts courses offered at the school as sixth form students can follow either an Acting or Musical Theatre Pathway.

You will have a background in Acting/ Drama and you will teach elements of your specialism to students.  You will be responsible for devising and delivering BTEC Units, assessing students, and working with a team of specialist practitioners recruiting and selecting future students.  There will also be an opportunity to teach across different age ranges, with the possibility of some GCSE classes in order to foster professional development. You will be an efficient and effective administrator, be able to evidence first-class teaching and have the skills necessary to help design a curriculum that will inspire and challenge some of the most talented students in the country.

You will be joining a thriving, Performing Arts Department, working alongside dedicated members of staff teaching Dance, Drama, Music, Musical Theatre and Expressive Arts. Our Level 3 BTEC course in Musical Theatre has been running for four years and our results have been absolutely outstanding.  This post provides an excellent opportunity for a specialist colleague who is enthusiastic, energetic, forward thinking and passionate about supporting talent and innovation in the Performing Arts.

This post is an important appointment in the Pupils Department within Arts Educational Schools London, and the successful candidate must have a balance of professional and academic skills in order to ensure that the work of the school remains amongst the very best in the United Kingdom.
Applications are welcome from teachers or practitioners who have experience of teaching BTEC Performing Arts and/or Drama.

All documents necessary for the application process are available by email from the Human Resources Administrator: brai@artsed.co.uk

Closing Date for applications is Monday 3rd October at 12.00 noon.
Interviews will be held on Thursday 6th or Friday 7th October.

Arts Educational Schools London is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  The school will take all necessary steps to check the suitability of employees, an enhanced DBS will be sought and background checks will be made.
