Ideal applicants will have experience both in professional filmmaking and working with children aged 6 – 18.

All staff are expected to take additional courses and skills training where necessary to remain at the top of their game.

All staff are paid for the sessions they teach (3 hours per session) but the fee also includes arrival at the Academy not less than 15 minutes before the start time and leaving 15 minutes after the official end time. The fee also includes the work necessary during the week to adequately prepare for the lessons and communicate with the Principal, as well as termly planning meetings and sessions.

It sometimes becomes necessary for staff to undertake additional duties during the week – i.e. for the Film and Television teacher to complete a number of hours of editing. In this instance, a pre-arranged project fee must be agreed between teacher and Principal.

We offer a great pay for inspirational individuals. An enhanced DBS on the update service will be required. Please submit a CV and if possible, a link to a showreel or short film project you have made, along with a cover letter to lucy.payne@pqacademy.com.
