Required as soon as possible

Are you passionate about dance and inspiring young people?

We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, and dedicated Dance Specialist to bring energy and expertise to our students. This is a fantastic opportunity to shape and grow our vibrant dance programme across all age groups (11–18 years) and make a real impact. While this is a unique role within the school, you’ll be joining a supportive, collaborative team at RGS, where your ideas and passion will truly shine. If you love dance and working with children, we’d love to hear from you! You will need to be student/parent focused and must actively support the school’s ethos and vision.

Hours: The normal core working hours will be 37.5 hours per week (7.5 hours per day), normally Monday to Friday during term time unless the Dance Specialist is involved in any weekend rehearsals/activities. Whilst the core working hours for operational staff are 8.30am - 4.30pm, the Dance Specialist role requires more flexibility and therefore the working pattern may vary from week to week depending on events in the calendar, student timetabling and co-curricular activities. In general, the earliest start time will be 7.45am and the latest finish time will be 5.30pm, except on performance days when the end time will be variable. See full job information pack for details.

Salary: c.34k gross per annum (Full Time Equivalent for 37.5 hours all year round). TTO + 4 training days, + 9 additional days c.28.7k gross per annum.

We strive to achieve a diverse workforce, fully representative of our pluralistic society and the ethnic make-up of the student population in the UK. People of colour are under-represented on our staff team. We are keen to attract applicants from a diverse pool of candidates and determined to be a fully inclusive employer, and a great workplace for people of Black, Asian and ethnic minority heritage as well as White heritage.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment.
