It is one of the few institutions in the world offering in-depth quality observational drawing tuition for adults and children of all ages and abilities.

The School is looking to appoint a full time Executive Assistant to provide efficient and effective executive, project and administrative support to the Director’s office – specifically the Principal and Founding Artistic Director.  The role of the Executive Assistant is to ensure the School’s educational priorities are dealt with in a joint up, timely and sensitive manner, applying discretion and judgement as required.
