Drama Technician Term Time

Thank you for your interest in the post of Drama Technician.

Drama is a popular subject at Saint Augustine’s. Pupils are taught Drama weekly at Key Stage 2 and 3 and then pupils can opt for it at GCSE and A Level. 

We have four performance spaces: the Drama Studio, the Hall, Badano Hall and an outdoor stage. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and supportive team of enthusiast teaching professionals. This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to join a highly creative and collaborative department. 

This role is advertised as a part time role for a minimum of three days a week but with the requirement for a great deal of flexibility and some evening work to support student performances.   We are looking to appoint someone who has a passion for excellence in everything they do. 

Our priority is to deliver excellence in all aspects of this wonderful school - we have done this through nurturing and empowering our passionate staff, by fostering a culture of ideas, energy and possibilities and by a relentless focus on developing each girl to the best of her ability. We are expanding our school roll and have ambitious plans for the development of facilities. 

St Augustine’s Priory is a leading Catholic, independent day school for girls aged 3-18 (with boys in the Nursery). The four parts of the school (Prep, Junior, Senior and Sixth Form) are located on the same site. We are an all-through school and it is an enormous benefit to girls and parents that pupils who join us in the Junior School are able to move seamlessly up with us through to the Sixth Form years. As a Catholic School we hold the care of the whole person as central to what we do. 

In November 2021 we were inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) which rated us “excellent” (the highest grade) for our educational provision and in our policies and processes designed to ensure the safety and nurture of our pupils. In 2020 the Good Schools Guide described us as “Quietly brilliant”. Our challenge now is to take these plaudits out into our communities so people understand more about why we are here, what we do and how “our girls will change the world”. 

The 13 acres of grounds in which the school sits provide a physical freedom unique in the heart of London. The Farm, Forest School, Meadow, Astro-turf and Open Air Theatre all utilise the natural setting, encouraging pupils to enjoy an emotional freedom to grow intellectually and spiritually. Our examination results are exceptional and we pride ourselves on instilling in girls a love of learning. 

We have been in Ealing for over one hundred years and we represent a wonderful continuity of expertise in educating women of the future. Our founders were exceptional, visionary women who strove to offer girls the best education possible; we continue in this tradition and rejoice in the generations of staff and of families who continue to work and study here. We offer a broad and varied curriculum with rich opportunities for personal development.

The post-holder must uphold the School's Policy in respect of all matters related to safeguarding and Child Protection. The post holder may be required to perform any other reasonable tasks, after consultation. This job description allocates duties and responsibilities but does not direct the particular amount of time to be spent on carrying them out and no part of it may be so construed.

Candidates should complete the St Augustine’s Priory Application Form, available from https://www.sapriory.com/admissions/staff-vacancies/ 

St Augustine’s Priory is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all who work here to share this commitment. St Augustine’s Priory is an inclusive employer and we pride ourselves on our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. We welcome candidates from all sectors and backgrounds.
