Our fantastic Education Department at Shakespeare’s Globe is seeking a Learning and Teaching Manager to join its Learning team which focuses on delivering a range of exciting projects for young people, schools and teachers.

We are committed to improving diversity and inclusion across our organisation. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and the Global Majority are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single specification. If you’re excited about the role but your experience or qualifications don’t perfectly align, we encourage you to apply anyway. We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented groups such as the global majority, LGBTQA+, and those with a disability and neurodiverse conditions.

The role:
The Learning and Teaching Manager will play a key role in this team, managing and supporting Learning Coordinators to manage our projects. This role will not involve leading workshops with students or teachers directly. Instead, you will be responsible for developing our products, the strategy behind them, and ensuring that they are delivered to a high quality by the Learning Coordinators who manage them and freelance theatre practitioners engaged to deliver them. You will have management responsibility for 3 to 4 people and, with the support of the Senior Learning Manager, will help them to develop and deliver their best work.

You will also contribute to new projects by working closely with the Senior Learning Manager and Director of Education on bespoke requests from new partners (we get a lot of interesting organisations reaching out to us!) and helping to shape new mission-led initiatives, both in the UK and worldwide.

We are looking for someone who brings their own point of difference to the team and can therefore strengthen us with a different perspective and experience. If you feel that you do not meet all of the criteria, but could contribute to the team and the experience of the young people we engage with, we want to hear from you!

Key experience/qualities:

• Experience of managing direct reports with the ability to lead, motivate and inspire

• A positive and empathetic mindset and communication style, enabling you to build rapport and work well with people

• A demonstrable passion for helping young people to learn and broaden their horizons, especially those who experience inequality, with a track record of doing this successfully

• An anti-racist approach and mindset

• Commitment to continuous improvement, of self, of staff, of service.

•  

We are particularly interested to hear from candidates from the global majority because our team does not yet fully represent the young people that we reach and would like to reach with our work. We see representation as important in better serving those young people.

Please note this position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Please see the job description linked on our main recruitment page for a full outline of principal responsibilities, what success looks like and information on the work of the department.

Salary:

£39,251 per annum

Benefits:

• Discount in the Globe shop and onsite restaurants/cafes

• Staff discounts via My Globe perks and better Bankside Buzzcard

• Free entry to selected shows, events and activities

• Access to our free employee assistance programme and 24/7 virtual GP service

• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave and pay

• Life assurance scheme

• Rental deposit scheme

• Season ticket loans

• Eye test voucher scheme

• Flu vaccination scheme

• Cycle to work scheme

• Enhanced employer pension contributions after 12 months service.
