This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside our vibrant and ambitious Music and Drama departments at Norwich High School.

This is a part-time position (24 hours per week), working during school term time only, plus 10 days during the school holidays. It is fixed term, until 8th July 2026. The salary is Grade 3 on the GDST regional scale.
