Every child’s imagination should be inspired by the arts. West End in Schools' mission is to use the skills of the professional theatre to provide highly creative cultural experiences for children which they will remember forever.

Each year we deliver dance, drama and Shakespeare workshops and perform musicals and pantomimes in well over 1,000 primary schools all over England, Wales and Scotland.

We value creativity, efficiency, fairness and ongoing relationships between our performers, the company and our customers.

We are always looking for people that reflect our diverse communities, to help us work in new ways and become more relevant to the schools and children we serve. We recognise that this is not yet present in our current workforce, so we particularly welcome and encourage applications from people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

• We’re looking for brilliant dancers who want to inspire the next generation. You will have an infectious passion and enthusiasm for the arts, and for storytelling.

• You will be a working professional dancer or choreographer with a current dance CV. You must have professional credits in any dance practice, or in musical theatre.

• You must either have a recent enhanced DBS check or be happy for us to submit you for one. 

• You will need good time keeping, planning and organisation skills.

• You will deliver the workshops on your own so need to be a confident and engaging representative of the company to the Head Teacher and other school staff.

Helpful but not required:

• Teaching experience, ideally of school aged children is helpful but is not a requirement. We will consider highly skilled dancers with little teaching experience.

• If you can drive that is brilliant - but it is not essential.

Please also complete our anonymous equality and diversity monitoring form, which is kept separate from your application.
