Are you a passionate and creative musical theatre enthusiast with a flair for inspiring young minds? Ramsgate Arts Primary School is seeking a Freelance Musical Theatre Teacher to join our outstanding team and help bring the magic of performance to life for our children.

We are looking for someone who can deliver engaging and imaginative musical theatre sessions, and who shares our belief in the power of the arts to enrich education and support the development of the whole child.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience in coaching or teaching musical theatre

• A background in working with primary-aged children

• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills

• Excellent teamwork and communication abilities

• A positive, energetic approach and a genuine passion for working with children

• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting children's wellbeing

• An understanding of how creative arts contribute to a well-rounded education

• While school-based experience is not essential, a genuine love for working with children is. We’re looking for someone who puts the needs of pupils first and understands the importance of educating the whole child—physically, socially, and emotionally.

In Return, We Offer:

• A welcoming and supportive team

• An inspiring leadership team focused on delivering the best outcomes for children

• Bright, enthusiastic children who are eager to learn and perform

• Collaboration opportunities across the Viking Academy Trust's network of schools

• The chance to contribute to a unique and thriving arts-focused school environment

While prior school-based experience is beneficial, it's not essential. What matters most is your passion for musical theatre and your dedication to helping children grow in confidence, creativity, and self-expression.
