Are you a Drama graduate looking for flexible work that makes a real difference?

Whether you're auditioning, performing, freelancing, or considering a career in teaching, this is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience while working around your schedule.

We are recruiting enthusiastic Drama graduates to support students in primary, secondary, and specialist schools across Taunton and the surrounding areas.

Why Drama Graduates?

The skills you've developed through drama are highly valued in education. Confidence, creativity, communication, empathy, flexibility, and the ability to engage an audience all help students feel motivated, supported, and ready to learn.

As a Flexible Teaching Assistant, you'll work alongside teachers to support pupils both in the classroom and around the school, helping them overcome barriers to learning and build confidence.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Supporting students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups
• Encouraging participation and engagement during lessons
• Helping pupils develop confidence, communication, and social skills
• Providing positive behaviour support where required
• Building strong relationships with students and staff
• Adapting to different schools and age groups

Every day is different, giving you the chance to gain experience across a variety of educational settings.

Who We're Looking For:

• A Drama graduate or someone with a performing arts background
• Confident, enthusiastic, and able to build rapport quickly
• Passionate about working with children and young people
• Adaptable and happy working in different schools
• Experience with young people through theatre groups, coaching, tutoring, youth work, or volunteering is desirable but not essential

Why Join Us?

• Flexible work around other commitments
• School hours only – evenings and weekends free
• Choose the days you work
• Gain invaluable classroom experience
• Perfect preparation for careers in teaching, educational psychology, drama therapy, youth work, or social work
• Opportunities for long-term and permanent school positions

Additional Information:

A driving licence and access to your own vehicle are desirable, as work may be available across several schools in Taunton and the surrounding areas.
If you're looking for flexible, rewarding work where your creativity and communication skills can inspire the next generation, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today to start your journey as a Flexible Teaching Assistant.
