This is an exciting opportunity for a graduate with a variety of specialisms across music and drama to play a key role supporting the Music and Drama departments at Emanuel School.
This role is an excellent opportunity for those considering a future in teaching, as it offers hands-on experience working in a dynamic school environment with opportunities for professional development.
The Performing Arts Administrative Assistant supports the administrative functions of the departments to ensure smooth operations and the coordination of lessons and co-curricular activities.
The ability to offer skilled support in the performing arts will be advantageous (e.g., music technology, stage management, instrumental skills, or drama production). The right candidate will have strong communication and organisation skills, and the confidence to work with children in a trusted role.
Working at Emanuel
There is always a buzz at Emanuel. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school. With a weekly staff briefing, half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, all of us are engaged in a lively ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims and aspirations.
Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining us should expect to do the same and share our commitment to the highest standards. At the same time our ethos remains unpretentious, kindly and practical, and there’s a strong sense of community and friendship at the school.
We aim to look after our staff well: we have an appraisal scheme with a focus on employees’ professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer salary sacrifice childcare vouchers through TEDS Premier, we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. Financially, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
