Applications close on Fri 6 Mar 2026 at 12:00pm

Description

We are seeking an exceptional individual to be our Head of Engage – to lead, define, and embed creative engagement across the entire organisation.

This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for strategic vision, operational delivery, team leadership, and organisational integration. The post-holder will envisage and deliver the way in which creative engagement functions at DRSDT — clarifying purpose, strengthening systems, and ensuring this work is artistically ambitious, ethically grounded, and sustainably delivered within clearly defined budgetary parameters.

Central to the Engage department are our weekly classes, which offer a perfect blend of fun and skill-building, designed to nurture confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for the performing arts. For all ages, artforms and experience levels, our Engage classes welcome around 9,000 every year through approximately 18 classes each week.

We know that genuine engagement is complex and demanding. We are seeking a leader who can hold that complexity – with clarity, compassion, and conviction.
