Teacher of Dance, with the ability to teach some Drama

Required from January 2027

At HSLC, our ethos is simple: be useful, be kind and help every student become the very best they can be.

If our ethos resonates with your own, and you are an inspirational Dance teacher, this could be an exciting opportunity to join our talented, motivated and highly successful Performing Arts team.

Dance is thriving at HSLC. In 2025, our students were crowned Dance Live! National Champions, having also won their regional heat and additional awards for Costume and Video. In 2026, our dancers were selected to perform at the FRESH Youth Dance Festival at Leeds Playhouse, showcasing their work alongside youth dance groups from across Yorkshire.

We are now looking for an excellent practitioner who can build on these successes and inspire the next generation of HSLC performing art students.

The successful candidate will teach GCSE and RSL Level 3 Diploma courses in both Dance and Drama. Through creative and engaging teaching, they will inspire our students, bringing enthusiasm, ambition and a genuine passion for performing arts to the classroom and wider life of the school.

HSLC is a supportive and encouraging place to work. We are unapologetically ambitious for every young person, regardless of their background, prior attainment or individual needs. Through our commitment to broadening horizons, we want our students to experience opportunities that inspire them, challenge them and help them become the very best they can be.

If you share that ambition and are passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people, we would love to hear from you.

Online applications close on 8 October. Applications will be received at the school up until 9am on 9 October.
