Job Summary

Jigsaw Performing Arts is looking for a committed and enthusiastic School Manager to join our growing team in South West London (Balham + Streatham areas). A fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about the performing arts, working with young people and helping a creative school thrive.

Job Description

Jigsaw Performing Arts provides drama, dance and singing classes for children and young people aged 3 to 18. Our schools are welcoming, creative and inclusive spaces where children can build confidence, develop new skills, make friends and have fun.

We are looking to recruit a School Manager to oversee the smooth running of our weekend performing arts classes in South West London.

The work on offer will be either Saturdays or Sundays, or both! Particularly looking for someone who is interested in Sunday work.

From £30 per hour when running the weekend school
£15 per hour admin time (1 hour a week minimum)
