With its excellent programmes for the academic and personal development of pupils, fantastic well-being and pastoral care, as well as world-leading performance sports and co-curricular activities, the College produces well-rounded, confident and resilient young people who stand out from the crowd.
We are seeking to appoint, as soon as possible, a highly skilled flautist, who is a committed, passionate and enthusiastic Flute Teacher to teach across all areas of the school from age 4 to 18. The teacher will deliver lessons that are fun, engaging and inspiring.
The Music Department is a dynamic force with a diverse and vibrant programme of performance opportunities. This role is for those with 1:1 instrumental teaching experience of flute. This post will require the successful candidate to deliver 30 minute flute lessons to students.

About Plymouth College
Plymouth College is an HMC co-educational school based in the bustling maritime city of Plymouth with the magnificent moorland, countryside and coastal landscapes of Devon and Cornwall close to hand. The school has been at the forefront of education in the South West of England since 1877 and, whilst quietly conscious of its past and traditions, it is now renowned for being forward-looking and internationally successful. The school offers continuous education from age 3 to 18 with boarding facilities from age 11, resulting in an international community which, among the students, represents over 35 nationalities.
We believe Plymouth College provides a first class, holistic education. Academic excellence in the classroom is enhanced by a wealth of enriching clubs and after school activities, such as music, the arts, drama and sports. Our Outdoor Education department is sector leading, providing a plethora of activities from caving and climbing, to coasteering and mountain biking amidst the beautiful South West countryside and coastline.
Plymouth College enjoys an enviable worldwide reputation in swimming and diving, which has resulted in multiple national, international and Olympic successes. Traditional team sports such as rugby and hockey have also gained significant recognition, and in 2019 the U14 Girls' Hockey team were National Tier 2 Champions.
We place an emphasis on developing the all-important soft skills, which are sought after by employers, the skills which turn interviews into offers of employment, and which ensure that Plymouth College students fly further and faster in their careers than peers educated elsewhere. Our students are quietly confident, resilient, and possess communication skills and values that set them out from the crowd.
We value each of our students as an individual. Education is personalised by our highly qualified teachers, with lively engaging lessons and modern teaching techniques supported by our emphasis on traditional values.
At the heart of our educational ethos is a culture of success, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere: the Plymouth College family. A happy child will be a successful child.
