Candidates must have a minimum of 2 years' experience working as a drama practitioner or similar, a genuine interest in and experience of working with babies and young children (up to the age of 11 years old), a love of stories, good storytelling skills and excellent English.

Resting actors who cannot commit need not apply.

But this is with the intention of developing further classes in the week and has the potential for the right candidate to generate their own sessions. We are also looking for a minimum commitment to Jul 2027.
The position will require for candidates to be living in, or very near to, Lincoln and/or Retford as these will be the main areas of delivery. We also require candidates to be registered as self employed, have a full UK driving licence and their own transport and an enhanced DBS
Successful applicants will receive competitive rates of pay starting rate of £20 per session(which has potential to increase depending on amount of sessions generated), Debutots story training, session plans and ongoing support and advice in delivery and will be provided with any equipment required.
