Drama Facilitator – Primary Schools

Our primary drama workshops, devised by our Creative Director, Abigail Rosser, allow children to explore their chosen topic from a new perspective, using drama games and theatre techniques to take a walk in someone else’s shoes.

For all of our ‘Explorer’ style workshops, you will work class-by-class delivering a range of games and theatre exercises. All of the activities are provided for you in a detailed plan and training will be provided.

We also offer some workshops which build to a performance, involving every class, at the end of the day.

Many of our drama facilitators are actors in between performing jobs and need to be able to audition. We offer complete flexibility for auditions, and ask that in return you do your best to accept work from us at short notice, if we ask you to, when someone has withdrawn due to an audition.

We are always looking for people that reflect our diverse communities, to help us work in new ways and become more relevant to the schools and children we serve. We recognise that this is not yet present in our current workforce, so we particularly welcome and encourage applications from people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

We guarantee to offer at least one paid training day and three days of delivery initially.

A typical day would be:

Travel to a school which could be some distance from home – perhaps staying nearby the night before.

Arrive at a school at 8.30am, start teaching at 9am and finish at 3.15pm. There is usually at least an hour break for lunch.

Lead workshops for class groups of approximately 30 children, throughout the day.

You will be working with children from 4 to 11 years (Reception to Year 6 in England) and occasionally with nursery.
