What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a talented individual with experience of teaching music to a high standard. The successful candidate will be an accomplished instrumentalist and have experience of using music technology to further enhance the curriculum. It is an exciting time to join the Music Department as we develop a new and challenging curriculum. Whilst previous experience of working in a specialist setting may be beneficial, many of our staff come from a mainstream background. Full and comprehensive training will be given to support the transition.
You must demonstrate tenacity coupled with recent experience of working in the education sector with KS3 and KS4 pupils. You should have a track record as a consistently good/outstanding practitioner. You must be willing to work across all our centres. Visits for potential applicants, to Parkway, can be arranged on request.

As a creative person, with a passion for music, you will have excellent subject and pedagogical
knowledge. Ideally you will have experience of developing and leading other creative disciplines.
Many of our young people have gaps in their education. You will need to have a creative approach to
teaching to reduce the impact of educational disadvantage, enabling all our Young People to access
learning and make expected progress.
What the school offers its staff
James Brindley is a stand-alone Academy based in a wide variety of locations across the City of Birmingham. During a school year, we educate over 3,000 young people for periods ranging from a few days in hospital to several years in one of our teaching centres. Many of our young people have complex medical needs and many have been out of education for a significant period prior to joining us. We offer a full-time curriculum to young people from EYFS to KS5 and our aim is always to enable them to ‘close the gap’ and to exceed expected progress during the time they are with us.
‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.
This is the Vision Statement of James Brindley Academy.
• Do you want to have a positive impact on some of the most vulnerable children’s lives in Birmingham?
• Do you want to work in an organisation that recognises the benefits of a good work/life balance for their workforce?
• Do you want to work in an organisation that invests heavily in CPD and allocates additional training days to develop their staff? If you have answered ‘yes’ to all these questions, join our team!
This is an excellent time to join James Brindley as the Academy continues to implement a strategic
vision developed by young people, staff, and other stakeholders. Join us to ‘Think Differently’ to inspire
young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.
