We are seeking dynamic and skilled educators to join our highly successful casual school delivery team at Leeds Industrial Museum.

You will deliver an established programme of curriculum-linked interactive workshops to school groups.

At Armley Mills, one of our most popular workshops is the fully immersive, 'in role' Victorian Schoolroom, where the Facilitator takes on the costumed role of a Victorian school teacher and leads the class through the workshop entirely using first person interpretation.

Knowledge of the Industrial Revolution and Victorian periods and a love of acting would be helpful.

Leeds City Council is one of the largest employers in the region with over 14,000 employees. We seek to recruit and develop talented individuals who embody our
council values and
ambitions.

You will be qualified to degree-level, or similar vocational qualification, with hands-on teaching or museums experience.
