Job overview
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.

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.
