Teacher of Art

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and outstanding artist teacher to join our art department. The department is always keen to develop new ideas, respond to contemporary art practices and has an ethos of shared practice and support. The department is housed across four purpose-built art studios providing our artists with the facilities and classroom climate to consider a broad range of two and three dimensional outcomes in traditional and digital forms. Drawing, printmaking, ceramics and contextual studies are a focus for our artists. The department provides opportunities for students to continue their art making beyond timetabled lessons supporting them to develop their skills and look after their mental wellbeing. We are very proud to celebrate our artists’ outcomes in our gallery and exhibition spaces; providing our learners the prospects of exhibiting their work as artists’ do. We are very much looking forward to welcoming a new artist teacher into our team.
