Leeds - Pay to Scale - Start Date: September - Full-time
Lights, camera classroom action
We're working with a welcoming secondary school in Leeds looking for a Drama Teacher who can bring energy, creativity, and confidence to the stage and the classroom. This is the kind of school where performing arts genuinely matter. Productions are well-supported, students get stuck in, and the department is known for bringing the school community together, usually with a standing ovation and at least one last-minute costume crisis.
Whether you're an experienced Drama Teacher or an ECT ready for your first big role, this could be your cue to step into something brilliant.
What you'll be doing:
- Teaching Drama across KS3 and KS4
- Creating engaging, imaginative lessons that get students thinking, performing, and collaborating
- Encouraging confidence, creativity, and self-expression in every classroom
- Supporting school productions, performances, and extracurricular activities
- Building positive relationships with students, staff, and families
What the school is looking for:
- UK QTS or relevant teaching qualification
- A genuine love for Drama and the arts
- Strong classroom presence and behaviour management
- Someone who can make students feel confident enough to take risks and perform
- A team player who brings ideas, warmth, and a good sense of humour
Benefits
- Supportive leadership team who value creativity across the curriculum
- A collaborative Performing Arts department with plenty of ideas flying around
- Students who enjoy Drama and actually want to be there, always a bonus
- Opportunities to get involved in productions, clubs, and enrichment activities
- A school culture that feels positive, inclusive, and community-driven
