Freelance Workshop Assistants (£15 per session)

FRONTLINEdance have received a grant from Children in Need to set up 4 integrated after school dance clubs for disabled children and young people, who don't get the opportunity to access out of school activities with their friends and siblings. The clubs will also be open to all children who want to attend, but priority will be given to those with a disability or a statement of special educational needs.

We need up to 4 workshop assistants to assist the delivery of the 4 clubs which will take place during term time, starting the week beginning 1st March 2010 at the following venues:

Mondays @ Heathfield Special School, Chell Heath, Stoke-on-Trent

Tuesday @ Blackfriars Special School, Newcastle-under-Lyme

Wednesday @ Leek High School, Leek, Staffordshire Moorlands

Thursday @ Kemball Special School, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent

The fee for an assistant at each club is £15 (freelance): 3:30pm-5pm. You will need direct experience of dance AND/OR disability, as; a performer, choreographer, teacher, facilitator, assistant or volunteer. Additional to this there will be 3 x 5 day summer school intensives.

Successful applicants will be required to attend a training session. This will involve training needed to fulfil your role, as well as the opportunity to meet the FRONTLINEdance team.

Job Description:

· To support the workshop facilitator at all times

· To assist all participants including working on a 1:2:1 basis with children who need that level of support

· To attend training session delivered by the artistic director

· Take part in weekly evaluations

· Complete weekly & monthly evaluation pro-formas

· Adhere to our Child Protection and Equal Opportunity Policy, refer to the Arts Councils Keeping Arts Safe’child protection guidelines in all areas of your practice (in-house training provided for this)

· Liaise regularly with the workshop leader, coordinator & administrator

This could be a Job-share opportunity; please outline in your supporting letter which clubs you are interested in supporting; it could be just one or all four. This is a great opportunity to learn how to make your practice more inclusive, as well as gaining experience and ideas from other dance artists and professionals. We would like continuity in the delivery, so would like commitment long term - at least one full term, preferably longer, and you will need lots of enthusiasm to really make this a very successful project - making it a fantastic opportunity and fun for the children.

The club is funded for 2 years, so please apply throughout the year and if selected, we will let you know once a vacancy arises. Please let us know your preferred start and end date.
