Dance Group Leader/Facilitator

Dancing for Well-Being is a North Yorkshire charity delivering gentle, inclusive dance sessions for older adults and people living with health, mobility or emotional challenges. Founded on the principles of Circle Dance, our sessions foster belonging, connection and togetherness while supporting physical, emotional and social wellbeing. We run weekly groups across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, Boroughbridge and the surrounding areas.

We are looking for an experienced dance or movement facilitator to join our team on a sessional basis. The role involves a mix of Group Leading and Assistant Leading depending on the weekly rota, with Group Leading as the primary focus.

Sessions run for 1.5 hours. You will be expected to arrive 30 minutes before each session and stay for 15 minutes afterwards for set-up and close-down, making a total commitment of approximately 2 hours 15 minutes per session.

Pay is £70.06 per session as Group Leader and £45.09 as Assistant Leader.

We are looking for someone with availability across Monday afternoons, Tuesday all day, Wednesday all day, Thursday afternoons and Friday afternoons. Additional ad hoc work is available depending on your schedule.

This is a people-facing role that combines creativity, care and responsibility. We are not looking for a fitness instructor. We are looking for someone warm, reliable and musical, with a genuine belief in the power of dance to support wellbeing and the people skills to match.
