What are the responsibilities and job description for the Artist in Residence, THE LADY ELEANOR HOLLES SCHOOL position at Guardian Jobs?
Artist in Residence
Part-Time, Fixed Term for 1 year
LEH is seeking to appoint an engaging and committed Artist in Residence to join its dynamic Art Department. This is an exciting opportunity for a practising artist to contribute to a vibrant and ambitious creative environment, while continuing to develop their own artistic practice.
The successful candidate will work across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, working with motivated and highly capable students. The role would particularly suit an artist interested in gaining experience within a leading academic school and contributing meaningfully to both curricular and co-curricular provision. This is a fixed term project with the Art Department for 1 year (term-time only).
What We Offer
Applications must be made on the School’s own form, CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted.
The closing date is noon on Monday, 31st August 2026.
Interviews will be held on Monday, 14th September 2026.
Application Form
Safeguarding Statement
All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
