Purple Carrots Studio is super excited to be opening in Melbourne after operating in Toronto for the past 5 years. Created by a speech pathologist, expressive arts therapist and drama teacher, our inclusive drama classes help individuals aged 6 to adult improve social skills through drama, movement and mindfulness. Most of our students have additional needs.

Our first classes will start in Term 2 and run:

• Saturdays 10-2.30pm in Princes Hill, Melbourne
• After school one day a week, details tbd.
• As the company grows, we will be able to offer more classes.

We are looking for a passionate artist who understands the power of drama on a personal level and wants to channel their experience and knowledge in a way that helps others. You:

• Have great interpersonal skills
• Are happy to lead independently as well as co-facilitate
• Have a background in theatre and are able to lead drama improvisation games, can hold space for others, and feel confident teaching a drama class to a group of 8 students (max)
• Thrive on spontaneity; you enjoy supporting student's creative impulses, as well as solving problems that arise in the moment
• Are looking for a rewarding opportunity that values your creative contribution
• Love working with children and teens!
• Experience working with people with additional needs such as autism is ideal, but not necessary

Additionally:

• Working With Children Check is essential
• A training session before the first workshop and ongoing mentorship will be provided
• An assistant position is also available, which involves supporting the lead facilitator and the class.
