Due to expansion, we are looking to recruit a versatile Acting and/or Singing practitioner to work as part of our thriving Ratzcool Saturday Musical Theatre classes.
The desired applicant will be creative, fun, and energetic. They would have good organisation skills, excellent communication skills, a natural affinity with children and a passion for theatre. They will be a team player, keen to collaborate and support our culture of continuous improvement. They will be tasked with creating fun and skills-based lessons suitable for children aged 5-12. You will also be required to perform small amounts of admin and must uphold the professional and high standards of the company when interacting with students, parents, and the public.
The successful candidate will work closely with the principal to plan and deliver lessons and be asked to attend performances, rehearsals, and team meetings to ensure a continued high level of delivery.
The classes run on Saturdays during term time (ten-week term), and ages of students range from 5-7yrs (Lower Juniors) to 8-12 years (Upper Juniors) with maximum 15 students in each class. Classes take place at The Angles Theatre in the auditorium and studio spaces. Musical Theatre classes run from 1pm - 3:15pm, practitioners are expected to arrive 30 mins before classes start. This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of an exciting team bringing the Arts to young people.
The Wisbech School of Performing Arts (WISPA) is a subsidiary of The Wisbech Theatre Trust. WISPA is a separate company and as such an employee of WISPA is not an employee of The Wisbech Theatre Trust despite the close working relationship between the two.
Ratzcool teach young people from 5yrs - 18yrs to perform with confidence and skill. Saturday classes offer courses in Musical Theatre (acting, singing and movement). Weekday classes are offered in Stage Acting, Media (Screen Acting + Film Making), and our award-winning Young Company.
With regular performance opportunities students build confidence, make friends, and learn useful skills for both the stage and beyond! Every year Ratzcool holds a showcase to demonstrate their achievements to family and friends during a school year, alongside this there are musical workshops and plays that are presented for the wider public.
