We are looking for a skilled musician to enthuse and inspire our early years to year 6 pupils, to enrich our curriculum and provide PPA and leadership release for teachers.

This would involve teaching music lessons for EYFS-Year 6 pupils for 3.5 days a week in our dedicated music room with a half day for planning and preparation. We are a two form entry school so this would be 14 lessons per week. There would also be potential for the successful candidate to run their own paid music clubs/ tuition after school and at lunchtimes, in addition to and separate from the school contract.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed musician with:
- A high level of musical skills across a range of instruments – ideally with a degree in music or a recognised qualification

- Experience of teaching music to groups of children (Qualified Teacher Status is not essential)

- The opportunity to help children develop their confidence and love of music which in turn will support their emotional wellbeing
- The opportunity to offer paid music tuition to pupils, on Fridays, after school or at lunchtimes.
- Excellent career development opportunities as the school is strongly committed to providing professional development opportunities for all staff.
This is an exciting, challenging and potentially highly rewarding career opportunity for the right person. Could this be you?
