Job Summary

We are looking for a Theatre & Storytelling Tutor to lead a playful weekly after-school club. Children will explore storytelling through character work, performance, and creative writing, developing confidence, imagination, and teamwork through shared stories.

Job Description

PressPlay is seeking a Theatre & Storytelling Tutor to lead a joyful, imaginative after-school club for KS1 children. Sessions are playful, process-led, and centred on exploration, creativity, and confidence-building, supporting children's emotional and social development.

The club invites children into a world of stories where they can invent characters, act out ideas, and build narratives together. Through games, role play, movement, and simple storytelling exercises, children will explore voice, expression, and collaboration. The focus is on imagination and participation - encouraging each child to contribute, take creative risks, and find their voice within a supportive group.
