Full job description
Theatretrain Exeter is looking for energetic and passionate individuals to join our existing team of Performing Arts teachers.
Part-time positions based in Exeter
Creative freedom to direct students aged 6-18
Exciting Saturday work for acting, dance and singing professionals
Experience or qualifications in acting, dance or singing? Love working with young people? How would you like to join an innovative theatre training company as an Acting, Dance or Singing Teacher?
Theatretrain has been around for 30 years in locations all across the UK. We are so much more than a performing arts school – we are a team-based professional theatre training company for young people. With us, you’ll be able to pass your expertise on to our students. No curriculum to weigh you down and no two sessions the same!
Our aim is to give high-quality theatre training to children and young people, so that they can carry their newfound confidence, teamwork and imagination forth with them well into adulthood. We also create large-scale shows for our students to remember at iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, the London Palladium and Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
As a Performing Arts Teacher, you will help lead our Saturday Main Company Group sessions from 10am to 1pm at West Exe School, with the occasional extra rehearsal leading up to our big performances. You must be able to adapt your directing style to respond well to different groups - a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t bring out the originality in our students. You should also have an all-rounder approach to performing arts - you must understand how and where theatre fits in not as a component that can be slotted in, but as an art that can’t be distilled from the others.
If you’re excited by the prospect of helping others grow up to share your passion for theatre, then this position is for you. Ideally you’ll have…
Experience of working with young people
Musical theatre training with some professional experience
Great leadership skills that emulate patience and compassion, but also enthusiasm and energy for your craft
Flexibility to absorb the Theatretrain Way
An in-date DBS (or be happy to apply for one)
