What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an expert musician with an enthusiasm for the life-changing opportunities that music offers all learners.

In return we will offer:

• Job satisfaction through making a positive impact on our student’s lives
• Friendly and supportive working environment
• Supportive and positive management
• Investment in your training and development
• Bespoke teacher development programmes supported by our Teaching School Hub
