Location
Essex | United Kingdom
Job description
Brentwood Senior School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 20 minutes from London Liverpool Street.
Drama Graduate Assistants contribute to the Drama Co-Curricular programme through participating in activities such as rehearsals and coaching students in Drama skills. Depending on the skill set of the Graduate they will be able to contribute to and lead in other Co-Curricular activities such as Dance and set design.
Graduate Assistants support in lesson learning through mentoring/coaching students, leading group work and as their teaching skills progress they take on team teaching and then if desired they can take on solo teaching.
Graduate Assistants, whilst based in a Senior School department, will spend a portion of their time in the Prep School working with the Prep School Drama, Dance and/or Music Departments. This enables our Graduate Assistants to develop a holistic view of education 3-18.
Graduate Assistants are assigned a tutor group alongside the main tutor in order to develop their pastoral skills and a holistic view of education. Graduate Assistants are assigned to a House so that they can develop their Co-Curricular skills beyond their main area and contribute to the full school life.
Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector. This position is term time plus the equivalent of 4 weeks. This role comes with the option of free onsite accommodation in one of our shared houses.
Brentwood School ethos
We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation. Our pupils are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no-one is looking and they respect difference: you will see a footballer enjoying lunch with a chorister and a dance captain running a recycling project with a young chess enthusiast.
We help our pupils to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset, and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their own learning. Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they’ve left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.
That’s who we are. We are Brentwood.
Staff across both the Prep and Senior School enjoy a bespoke collaborative approach to professional development. We believe in being a research engaged school, with those that facilitate our in-house research programme being trained by the Institute of Education. We support many of our staff in obtaining external accreditation across a range of fields and are engaged with a number of national and international organisations. We are a highly supportive school that values the contributions made by a motivated and intellectually curious staff. There are a range of ways that we enhance our staff experience; free gym membership, benefits hub, free lunch, free tickets to school concerts and performance to name but a few.
