Job Description

Programme Leaders are responsible for planning and delivering the Cultural Champions programme for 2025/26 for an assigned cohort of teachers in a particular geographical area or Multi Academy Trust wide cohort. Whilst RBO remains responsible for the overall framework and content of the programme, which provides clear aims and outcomes for each module, Programme Leaders will need to demonstrate a creative and reflective approach to their delivery.

  • Support Cultural Champions to ask and discover answers to a range of questions that are relevant to their own practice

  • Consider the current climate in schools and aim to support Cultural Champions to lead during challenging times.

These training modules will be delivered using RBO Schools Programmes (Create and Dance, Create and Sing, Create and Design) as the creative stimulus, as an opportunity to trial and test Cultural Champions' leadership skills within a high-quality programme of work.

The commitment is a total of 13.5 days, which should be spread across the deliverables in the 25/26 academic year.

The rate of pay for this work is £300 per day, £4,050 for the entire contract.
