Full job description

OpenView Education is a dynamic Theatre in Education Company. Our mission is to empower students to lead successful, happy lives.

Since 2018, OpenView Education has grown to work with over 100,000 students a year, delivering drama-led PSHE workshops that schools ask us back for, year after year.

That growth isn't slowing down, and we're looking for self-employed facilitators and performers to work with us.

“They are the best company. Honestly I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart. They're such an incredible company.”

- OpenView Education Facilitator

As a company we are proud to have an excellent relationship with our facilitators, working in a collaborative way and setting them up to succeed.

6 Reasons Why Performers Love Working With OpenView Education:

You Matter: The work you do with OpenView matters - feel fulfilled at the end of your day knowing you're doing important work.
Make a Difference: Use your skills as a performer to empower young people to live successful, happy lives and see the positive impact you have.
Connection: We pride ourselves on having a positive relationship with our facilitators. You'll feel recognised and valued for your individual input.
Learn New Skills and Excel as a Performer: We provide full training for every project, including the opportunity to gain puppeteering experience.
Flexiblility to fit around other projects: Book in project dates with OpenView Education allowing time to work on other projects.
Return to well-paid work, year after year. You'll have the opportunity to come back for future bookings each year.

“I feel like I've really improved my puppetry skills because I'm doing it all the time.”

- OpenView Education Facilitator

What a typical day is like as an OpenView Education Facilitator

Arriving at the school in the morning, signing in at reception and showing your DBS and ID. Meet your contact teacher and get set up in the hall or workshop space, so you're ready to start by 9am.
Your first session is an interactive puppetry performance for Reception, Years 1 and 2, using a living puppet.
You then deliver an interactive assembly for Years 3 and 4 that involves discussions and activities.
Take a break for lunch, relax in the staff room or nip out and grab a coffee (Most day structures allow for an hour lunch break.)
You then deliver workshops for individual classes with Year 5 and 6, facilitating drama based activities and role-plays. Session times range from 45 - 60 minutes and are tailored to the year groups you are working with.
You’ll usually finish around 3:15pm to 3:30pm, saying goodbye to the school team who loved your visit and travelling home with that satisfying feeling knowing that you made a real difference.

Every booking is different, and the above structure is an example. But one thing's for sure - you’ll always feel well prepared, supported and ready to empower your students!

We are seeking reliable facilitators that are happy to work independently.

Although you will work independently in the role, we are always available to support you.

What We’re Looking For:

Essential:

Confident in journey planning to a variety of locations and excellent with timekeeping.
Experience of working with large groups of primary aged or secondary aged students, at least 25 students in one group at a time.
Reliable with a proven track record of working independently.
See the value of working with children and young people to help them to live successful, happy lives, by using drama and theatre as a tool to do this.
Willing to travel in your own vehicle, or another suitable form of transport. Please specify if you are a driver with access to your own vehicle when submitting.
Positive, 'can-do' attitude.
Please specify where your base is on your application.

All performers must have:

A current enhanced DBS check. (Within 3 years, or on the update service.) If you need to have one processed, we can arrange this at your own cost.
A Laptop with PowerPoint (Offline Version)
Bluetooth Speaker (This can be small - Used as a backup)

Desirable:

Experience working with up to 120 students in one sitting. (Primary or Secondary)
Willing to work in both Primary and Secondary Schools (Please specify this in your application)

Every person we work with is important and valued. Our goal is to create a diverse and inclusive working environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

We encourage applications from all backgrounds, which reflect the diverse communities of young people and schools we serve.
