About the role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher in Performing Arts within the Createch Faculty based at Reading College. The Performing Arts department at Guildford College offers pathways in Acting for Stage and Screen, and Dance & Musical Theatre.

This post provides an excellent opportunity for a teacher with passion and drive who is committed to enabling our students to unlock their potential and switch on to the power of learning. Knowledge of UAL specifications is desirable but not essential.

The post holder will be required to have a range of abilities within Performing Arts, including acting, singing, and musical theatre. Experience of dance would also be beneficial as we are looking for a diverse individual. Some experience of leading shows would be beneficial. The post holder will act as a personal tutor and study programme owner, teaching across Level 2 and Level 3 UAL qualifications in Performing Arts.

This is a fixed-term, part time role working 18.5 hours per week (0.50 FTE), until July 2025.

What do you need to be successful?

Successful candidates will have an appropriate professional qualification and/or a degree, recent teaching experience and the ability to deliver a programme that includes singing, acting, and musical theatre. Whilst we would prefer applications from qualified teachers who hold a PGCE (Professional Graduate Certificate in Education) or equivalent teaching qualification, we would consider applications from unqualified applicants, with the ability to inspire our learners and a willingness to complete a teaching qualification.

In addition, you will need to have a flexible approach, coupled with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills. You will demonstrate the ability to engage and develop students and role model the attributes that we develop within our learners.
