We are thrilled to be advertising for the role of Resident Tutor & Drama Specialist,
a residential position which will have a significant role in the running of Boarding
at Thomas’s College. The role also gives an opportunity to help build the College
drama programme and to work in partnership with the Orange Tree Theatre -
Richmond’s powerhouse of independent theatre with a global reputation
The Resident Tutor (Drama Specialist) supports the Director of Boarding and Resident Matron by organising activities and providing supervision in the boarding houses. A strong commitment to delivering the best possible experience for boarders is essential, as is the ability to balance the structure of routines with a warm, inclusive approach.
As a Drama Specialist, this role also provides an exciting opportunity to help develop the College’s Drama programme. We’re passionately committed to providing outstanding experiences in drama for all our students, and to working in partnership with young people to share the excitement of theatre making. As part of this commitment, we are delighted to be collaborating with the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond.
The Orange Tree has an outstanding reputation for staging world-class productions and for extraordinary community work, bringing together thousands of people in Richmond through participatory theatre.
Alongside boarding duties, the successful candidate will participate in the drama programmes at the College and the Orange Tree. The nature of this participation will be flexible, and depend on the needs of the programmes at any one time. Overall, it is a remarkable opportunity to help build a boarding community, to be involved with a world-class theatre, and to inspire young people with the confidence, connection and joy that drama and story-telling afford.
This role involves a mix of morning, evening, and overnight duties. With Thomas’s operating a weekly boarding model, the Resident Tutor will have time off from Friday evening until Monday morning each week, as well as during school holidays.
