About the Royal Academy of Dance
The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is one of the world's leading dance education and training organisations, with a global reputation for excellence in teaching, learning, and artistic development. Headquartered in London, the organisation works with communities across the UK and internationally to increase access to dance and promote the physical, social, and wellbeing benefits that participation can bring.
As an independent educational charity, the RAD reinvests all income into supporting its mission and expanding its reach. Through a wide range of educational, cultural, and community engagement initiatives, the organisation is committed to making dance accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
The RAD maintains strong ties with the Wandsworth and Battersea communities, providing inclusive dance programmes that help people develop skills, build confidence and enjoy the benefits of movement and creativity.
Based in Battersea, the organisation operates world-class facilities, including the Aud Jebsen Studio Theatre and dedicated studios, supporting performances, education, rehearsals and community events.
With over a century of heritage, the RAD continues to lead dance education through innovative programmes, diverse learning opportunities and a flexible approach that supports learners and educators worldwide.
The organisation’s outreach programmes promote inclusive access to dance through schools, specialist SEND classes and initiatives such as Silver Swans, ensuring people of all ages and abilities can participate and benefit from dance.
The Royal Academy of Dance was founded in London in 1920 as the Association of Teachers of Operatic Dancing, and received its Royal Charter in 1935. It's a dance education and examination board with an emphasis on classical ballet, based at a purpose-built headquarters on York Road in Battersea.
Here's where its roles sit, including its retail arm, and similar roles we're recruiting for right now.
The RAD isn't a retailer, but its commercial arm, RAD Enterprises, runs online and onsite shops selling RAD products, with all profits gift-aided back to the charity. At its London headquarters it hires for roles such as an Admissions Officer and a Junior Marketing Executive, with a mix of in-person and remote working.
Specialist retail and charity work cross over. Product knowledge, customer service and marketing skills are valued by charities, specialist retailers and brands alike.
The RAD sets dance syllabuses and examinations, with a strong focus on classical ballet, and trains dance teachers. It has a presence in 85 countries and 36 offices around the world.
The Royal Academy of Dance advertises its own vacancies on its careers website, so we don't list them here. If you like the sound of working there, these are similar roles we're recruiting for right now.
