Immanuel College has a strong tradition of success in the Performing Arts contributing significantly to the creative development of students who have pursued careers in this industry. We are now seeking an inspirational Director of Performing Arts to lead and develop Drama and Music across the College, taking our provision to the next level. This senior role combines classroom teaching at all levels with strategic oversight of the Performing Arts provision across the school. The successful candidate will bring vision, authority, and strong organisational skills, ensuring Performing Arts thrive as a central pillar of the cultural life and public profile of the school. Application Process: Applications will be reviewed on receipt, and in some cases we may choose to interview and appoint a strong candidate ahead of the closing date. We therefore encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible. If you would like any further information, or an informal conversation to discuss the role please contact Deputy Head Academics, Mrs Danielle Kestenbaum at dkestembaum@immanuelcollege.co.uk. Safeguarding: The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Before making an application for any vacancy, you should familiarise yourself with our Child Protection & Safeguarding, Recruitment and Selection and our Equal Opportunities policies. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. The school may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social-media accounts, as part of their application. The safeguarding responsibilities of the post are outlined in the job description.
