Drama Fellow

Drama Fellow Maternity cover, Term time, Full-time Start Date: As soon as possible Closing date: 21 August 2026 at 12 noon An opportunity has arisen to join an outstanding Drama department. Haileybury is seeking to appoint a Drama Fellow to cover a period of maternity leave. Role Drama is a great strength at Haileybury achieving excellent academic outcomes and mounting productions of the highest calibre. In any given year a range of major co-curricular performances are mounted, including both plays and musical productions. In addition, there are performance evenings, plays and events throughout the year drawn from curriculum performance work, Lamda, House Drama etc. Major productions in recent years include Chicago, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Legally Blonde, and Les Misérables. There are also a variety of smaller class-based productions and events. Drama staff facilitate a number of opportunities in co-curricular activities and clubs for pupils. House Drama is a fantastic success, producing six student-led plays featuring paired brother/sister houses. We also have a recent tradition called Arts Week, celebrating artistic output and culture, including open air Shakespeare, small scale productions and LAMDA/ Scholars Showcase. We are keen to continue to develop links with local theatres including the Spotlight and the BEAM Theatre at Hertford. Our well equipped theatre is supported by a full time Performing Arts Manager, who oversees the technical needs of Drama and other events in the college; a full time Theatre Technician whose main responsibility is to design and build sets for productions as well as support the technical needs of academic Drama pupils; and also the Theatre Technical Unit (TTU) composed of pupils who help with all the performances. This role may be appropriate for a recent graduate in Drama, Theatre or a related discipline who is seeking to gain experience within an educational environment as a pathway into teaching.
