About Us:
Zylo is a dynamic and innovative company dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the performing arts. We specialize in providing engaging and educational after-school drama clubs for primary school students.

* Utilise teaching and communication skills to engage and inspire young participants.
* Manage children's behaviour in a positive and constructive manner.
* Provide a safe and inclusive environment for children to explore drama.

* Payment is £32.50 per session.
* Three afternoons are available to start from September (Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays), with the potential for additional sessions to be added later and occasional cover shifts.
* The position is well-suited for individuals with another morning/evening job, those on a gap year, or students with a flexible timetable.
* Preparatory training, ongoing support, session plans, first aid training, and safety instruction are provided by Zylo.
* Additional daytime work may be available for tutors with skills in guitar, singing, keyboard, or drumming.
