Job description

Take Centre Stage with Tradewind Recruitment - Drama and Music Teachers Wanted Across Manchester!

Are you a qualified Drama or Music Teacher who knows the difference between classroom teaching and simply putting on a show? Tradewind Recruitment Manchester is looking for experienced secondary specialists to inspire students across KS3 and GCSE in schools throughout Greater Manchester.

We are looking for proper qualified teachers with QTS or QTLS - not just performers, actors or musicians looking for a few hours on stage. Drama and Music are practical subjects, and schools need teachers with the right qualifications, classroom experience and safeguarding requirements in place.

Helping you continue to develop your craft both inside and outside the classroom.
