Do you want to be a part of a drama department that is vibrant and busy, with a focus on excellent skills-based teaching, as well as delivering an exciting programme of public performances, trips and theatre visits?

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced theatre practitioner and teacher with the passion to further build on the excellent drama standards at Emanuel.
