Performing arts specialist: London vacancies

Main Duties

What do we do?

Artis is a creative learning charity which helps children achieve at school by integrating the performing arts throughout their learning. Artis creates a very different experience from a typical classroom by linking music, drama and dance to curriculum learning as facilitated by performing arts specialists. Working as a creative learning specialist gives practitioners a platform to use their creativity within an educational context, whilst receiving training and support along the way. We attract the best practitioners because we respect and nourish artistic talent.

What are we looking for?

Specialists to join our thriving team who are willing to regularly travel and work in and around London. Creative learning specialists are imaginative, versatile and skilled performing artists who can commit to delivering our creative curriculum on an ongoing basis across the academic year in primary schools. Specialists deliver anything from half a day to four days a week, returning to the same school(s) each week throughout the academic year.

We’re looking for practitioners with a flair for communication, are open to new challenges and are inspired to nurture creativity in children from diverse cultural backgrounds. It is essential that candidates are available to commit to ongoing, regular work in order to be considered for this role. A willingness to travel within your region is essential.
