Teacher of Drama

Job description

Alleyn’s are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Drama either full-time or part-time (3 days a week) from Thursday 29 August 2024. For the right candidate, we would be willing to consider a full-time position if it were combined with an ability to teach a curriculum subject to KS3.

We have our own competitive salary scale and accommodation may be available.

This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their career (e.g. an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession (we have a full training and induction programme in place).

Above all, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and well-qualified, with a real love for Drama and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.

The ideal candidate will be a committed and dynamic person who will:

• contribute to the high-quality teaching and assessment of Drama across ability ranges, up to and including A level;
• work closely with the department to develop Drama as a subject within the school;
• contribute to the department’s co-curricular activities and participate in the wider school programme of co-curricular activities.

Alternatively, they can be posted to Jane Lunnon, Head, Alleyn’s School, Townley Road, London SE22 8SU.

The deadline for applications is midday on Tuesday 19 March 2024.
