Newton Abbot College is seeking an outstanding individual with drive, passion and ambition to join our Music & Drama departments. We are looking for a high-quality classroom practitioner who is inspirational, dedicated and forward-thinking; determined to raise standards and uptake in Drama & Music, creative, enthusiastic and committed to active learning; and an excellent team player.
Drama & Music play a critical role in the whole college curriculum and wider enrichment opportunities at Newton Abbot College. Both departments pride themselves on creating environments where students' passion and drive for the Arts are fostered through engaging and challenging lessons, but also the opportunities to regularly practise, rehearse, perform and further develop their skills.
The extra-curricular opportunities that we provide for our students play a vital role in the success of both the students taking the subjects and the wider college arts community. The Music team currently run a concert every term; a Winter Concert, a Spring Concert and an open-air summer BBQ and the Drama department put on showcases throughout the year. The wider Creative Arts departments all collaborate to produce an annual production, which has grown from strength to strength, demonstrating the highest calibre of professionalism, talent and above all, student enjoyment.
Are you:
- an inspirational, creative, dedicated and forward-thinking classroom practitioner?
