Woodbridge School is seeking a talented and inspirational LAMDA Practitioner to join its highly successful and well-established Drama Department. This is an exceptional opportunity for a practitioner who wishes to broaden their experience within a supportive, creative, and ambitious environment where they can truly excel.

Woodbridge School is one of Suffolk’s leading academic schools, situated in a beautiful part of the county and just 1 hour 20 minutes from London. The school has a strong sense of community, a rich co-curricular programme, and a commitment to nurturing talent both inside and outside the classroom.

Drama is a major strength of the school. Each year, we stage eight high quality pupil productions, with a thriving culture of performance supported by exceptional facilities and an outstanding team. You will be joining a highly supportive and collaborative department, which is well resourced, comprising:

• Head of Drama 

• Assistant Head of Drama

• Part Time Peripatetic Teacher of LAMDA (reporting to the Head of LAMDA) 

• A dedicated and skilled Theatre Manager and their team at the Seckford Theatre, part of the Woodbridge School and Seckford Foundation.

This is a peripatetic role, and working hours will average three to four days per week. Flexibility is essential: hours may increase during busy periods (e.g., production preparation) and reduce at quieter times. Demand for lessons may also rise throughout the year as more students enrol.

We would consider applications from candidates wishing to work on a self-employed basis, provided that the engagement fully meets HMRC requirements for self-employment. This includes satisfying the criteria outlined in HMRC’s Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) assessment and compliance with all relevant UK employment and tax legislation. Applicants expressing interest in self-employed arrangements may be asked to complete a CEST determination and provide any supporting evidence required to confirm that self-employment status is appropriate for the role.

This role offers a rare opportunity to play a key part in shaping and delivering LAMDA across Woodbridge School, working with enthusiastic pupils, committed colleagues, and a department known for excellence, creativity, and innovation.
