Job overview
St Peter’s School, York, is a dynamic, forward-looking HMC independent school for day and boarding pupils based a few minutes’ walk from the historic centre of York.
The post holder will enhance the experience of all pupils studying art through in class advice and discrete sessions in ceramics. A further dimension of the role will be participation in the department’s engagement with the art community in York and further field. As such the role is split, broadly 50/50 between direct support of teaching and the artists own work including liaison with external institutions and other practising artists. The post holder will take charge of our well equipped ceramics studio in which he or she will both teach small groups of pupils and develop his or her own work. It is anticipated that the post holder will mount an exhibition of his or her own work and there may be an opportunity for a commissioned work for the school.
The post would be an excellent springboard for anybody thinking about teaching as a career. Equally it would provide space and resources for an artist keen to further their own practice. Accommodation may be available if required.
