About You

We are looking for a Fashion Teacher to deliver a specialist fashion design and production class.

At BRIT Kids we ask teachers to be creative, contemporary and self-directed.

We want teaching at BRIT Kids to be the highlight of your week. We believe that allowing teachers to devise and create your own class content, means that you have ownership over what you are delivering and therefore passion and knowledge to deliver at a high level.

You are asked to devise your own projects and write your own schemes of work, with support and guidance, when needed by the Director. The emphasis on contemporary, unique and challenging is important to us. You are encouraged to take risks and step out of your comfort zone.

The joy of teaching at BRIT Kids is that although we have high expectations, level descriptors and ask for schemes of work overviews, you are not confined by a curriculum.

You will be expected to write Schemes of Work overviews and run to the BRIT Kids ethos which celebrates creativity through challenging, bespoke and contemporary teaching.

Please contact the Resourcing Team at [email protected] if you have any queries about this position.
