Teacher of Music (temporary)

We are seeking to appoint a temporary Classroom Music Teacher to teach curriculum music lessons from Y2 to Y9 and also to lead ensembles. Full time or part time hours can be accommodated. We are looking for someone who embodies passion, expertise, and the drive to inspire young minds.

This is a temporary position to cover staff absence probably until at least Christmas. We are looking to appoint as soon as possible and will therefore consider applications as they arrive. Interested applicants are advised to submit their form as soon as possible, and the vacancy may close before the date advertised.

This pivotal role aims to attract an individual who possesses a profound understanding of music's role in education and personal development, coupled with the skills and enthusiasm to lead by example alongside the essential skill of playing the piano. The ability to accompany students on the piano during classes, rehearsals, and performances is a critical aspect of the job, serving as a foundation for our dynamic music programme.

The ideal candidate will be someone looking to grow their career, taking on responsibilities that stretch beyond the classroom to include contributing strategically to the development of our music department and its offerings.

All staff are fully supported in their professional development. 

A full job description can be found below.

Successful candidates will be invited to a formal interview and will be observed teaching a prepared lesson. There will also be an opportunity to tour the School on the day.

Please submit these to the HR & Compliance Officer, Ms Corinna Gregory: recruitment@edgbastonhigh.co.uk
