DESCRIPTION

Do you love teaching, entertaining, and taking care of children ages 3-8 in a nurturing space where their imaginations are celebrated? Do you love sharing the magic of storytelling with children? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Treasure Trunk Theatre (located in Brooklyn, NY) is seeking teaching artists for our roster of talented, enthusiastic, and inspiring teachers for our summer camp season as well as for our April break camps. Additionally, options are available to join our team for the spring class season as a sub, if your schedule permits.

We are currently hiring both lead and assistant teaching artists. Select candidates with extensive experience will be considered immediately for our lead teacher training process. We promote from within, so those hired as assistants will be given the opportunity to apply in the future for the lead training process as well.

Our Mission: At Treasure Trunk Theatre, we create a nurturing space for children to develop their imagination, confidence, and creativity through the magic of storytelling. We encourage self-expression and celebrate individuality. We use the power of dramatic play to inspire each child to be their unique self, to connect with others, and to see the world in an empathic way.

Those who will best succeed in this role must:

● have experience working on a collaborative team, and experience working with children in a childcare, babysitting, family, classroom, camp, and/or arts setting.
● enjoy taking care of, teaching, and entertaining children 3-6 years old -- as well as 6-8 years old. (The majority of our camps are for 3-6 year olds).
● be engaging and able to adapt quickly and creatively to meet the needs of outdoor and indoor classroom spaces.
● ensure the highest level of safety throughout our camp day.
● be comfortable with being outdoors - while our camps are largely indoors, we have a few select outdoor camps in JUNE and we do go outside each day to the playground for about 45 minutes to an hour, weather permitting.
● have experience assisting children with bathroom visits.
● display confidence and a willingness to be playful.
● love to have fun and bring one’s own personal and creative style to their teaching!
