We aim to provide a warm and welcoming space for people to come visit and enjoy. We would not be here without the support of the community. Find out how you can get involved.
We are currently looking for the following tutors:
Wednesday or/and Thursday evening Tutors
Unusually we now have space in our main hall on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7.00pm -9.45pm.
We are looking for tutors who teach courses that would work well in a large hall space. Things that work well in this space are Pilates, Yoga, Music and Dance but we also run large-scale clean craft courses like willow weaving and spoon carving. We have plenty of chairs available but limited tables. There is a grand piano, music stands, sound system and stage.
We are looking for something like the following:
Dance (ballroom, salsa, contemporary dance) circus skills, group music classes (not drumming), large skill craft (however we have limited space for storage), wellbeing and personal development. Please refer to our current programme to see what we already teach. We are looking for something we don't already do. The capacity is to have from 12-20 students.
You must be self-employed and invoice us termly for your time. There is a fixed hourly rate £21.00 an hour for classes of 7 + students. You must have experience of teaching adults.
