Education Manager

This post, for an experienced and skilled music education manager, is a key role within the EFDSS Education team. The job involves managing, devising, initiating, and delivering projects, classes and courses using folk music and dance, and related art forms with diverse groups of adults, families, children and young people in formal education, informal learning, and community settings.

It also involves contributing to professional development and training opportunities for artists, teachers, arts educators, and other professionals, and creating learning resources.

The programme managed by the Education Manager takes place within a broad range of education and community settings: at Cecil Sharp House; with cultural and community organisations in our home borough of Camden and the Greater London area, and, occasionally, in other parts of England.

Working with the Education Director, the National Youth Folk Ensemble Programme Manager, and the Dance Development Manager, the Education Manager contributes to strategies and plans to develop EFDSS’ national education
programme.
