Filmmaking teacher for teens

Job description

Filmmaker Wanted – Sunday Teen Film Classes | £20/hr - £140/day | Aylesbury

If you love making films, thrive on set energy, and get excited about building projects with young people, this job is for you. If you’re a traditional classroom teacher, this role is not for you.

We’re hiring a hands-on filmmaker to lead our teen film programme at the Film & TV Academy in Aylesbury.

This is a practical, real-world filmmaking role. No long theory lessons. No sitting around. This is about making films every week.

The Role

You’ll run two filmmaking sessions every Sunday at Kingsbrook School:

• Every Sunday

• 10:00–13:00 and 14:00–17:00

• Around 15 students per class

• Ages 13–18

• £140 per day

Students work as filmmakers and actors, collaborating on real film projects over multiple weeks. Your job is to run the set, not a classroom.

What This Job Actually Is

• Filming every week

• Students acting, shooting, directing and creating

• Learning by doing, not by listening

• Real-world set energy

• Every student has a clear role

• Projects move forward every week

This is not school. It’s the students' weekend, and parents are paying for a premium experience. Every student should leave happy, engaged, and excited to come back.

Who This Is For

You are someone who is:

• Fun, energetic and confident

• Genuinely passionate about filmmaking

• Comfortable leading and organising 15+ teenagers

• Highly organised (you know scenes, roles, props and schedules)

• Confident with camera, sound, performance and editing

• Flexible, curious and calm under pressure

• Brings child-like enthusiasm to creative projects

You should be more excited about the film projects than the students are. That energy sets the tone.

Who Should NOT Apply

• Traditional classroom teachers

• Anyone who relies on long theory lessons

• Strict or inflexible personalities

• Anyone who prefers students sitting quietly listening

If you don’t enjoy running an active, noisy set, this isn’t the role for you.

Requirements

• 21+

• Driving licence

• Available every Sunday

• Comfortable working with ages 13–18

Teaching qualifications are not required. Real-world filmmaking experience and the right energy matter far more.

Why This Role Is Different

This is a creative leadership role, not a teaching post.

You’ll inspire students by making films with them, not lecturing at them.

If this sounds like you, message me or apply directly.
