Job overview

The Perse Upper School is seeking an inspirational, experienced French horn teacher to join our vibrant Music Department, teaching pupils across the 11-18 age range from January 2025. Music is a dynamic, ever-growing department with a rich and varied programme of high-quality events throughout the school year. Our overriding aim is to foster a culture of inclusivity and music for all but with a mindfulness for realising the potential of our most gifted pupil musicians.

The successful applicant, as a self-employed Visiting Music Teacher, will be offered the opportunity to teach five pupils (as of October 2024) in weekly individual lessons on the school site. Applicants would therefore need to commit to teaching for around 3 hours of individual lessons on a day of their choosing, though more lessons may be available subject to pupil/parent demand. We would also wish the successful applicant to be committed to driving up numbers for their instrument both at the Upper School and at the Prep School.

Individual instrumental lessons are invoiced directly to parents/carers of pupils in a private agreement detailed in the School’s Self-Employed Visiting Music Staff Service Agreement.

 

Applications are to be made by sending a CV with covering letter to music@perse.co.uk


Closing date: 8th November 2024 at midday but applications will be considered as they are received; The Perse School reserves the right to make an appointment before the closing date.

 

The School actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
