Frequently Asked Questions

How long until I hear about an audition?: We recruit on an ongoing basis, so there may be a short wait. We usually assess applications once a term in January, March and June. If we have high demand or need facilitators in a certain area, we may audition more regularly.
What is the assessment process?: You'll be invited to an online audition based on your application. If accepted, you'll complete a paid assessment day in a school — half a day shadowing a current facilitator and half a day delivering.
How often will I be offered work?: This depends on your availability, location and time of year. We book workshops within 90 miles of your home address and provide dates at least a month in advance. If you need to travel further, we'll check with you first and can support overnight stays.
Is it necessary to have a car?: Since the majority of our schools are inaccessible by public transport before 08:30, we ask that you have access to a car or other suitable vehicle.
Will I have support with content?: Absolutely! Content packs are provided well in advance with lots of activities to choose from. We also encourage you to bring your own creativity. There's support available including development sessions, quick responses from our office team, and tips from experienced facilitators.
What does a normal day look like?: You may deliver a full-day workshop with one class, two half-day workshops, or four one-hour workshops. A standard day usually runs from 08:30 to 15:30.
Is this employed or freelance?: Facilitators are contracted on a self-employed freelance basis and are responsible for their own tax and NI contributions. Work is offered on an ad-hoc basis.
