We are looking for confident, imaginative, and enthusiastic graduate with a degree in music, or a related subject, to provide support for students and teachers.

This is a great opportunity to motivate students and be responsible for improving their music and school experience.

The Role

The role involves working with our music teachers and students at all ability levels, in one of the most vibrant, innovative departments in the country.  We have an orchestra of 150 students, a huge choir, and a wide range of ensembles.   Our music tutor also delivers instrumental lessons.

This role offers

  • The perfect steppingstone for someone who is considering teaching and wants experience being in a supportive and friendly school,
  • A great gap year job or a new role for anyone who would just like to make a real difference to the lives of young people.
  • A great opportunity to play a crucial role in the day-to-day life of the school within the classroom and to gain exposure to the school environment.

"Being Music Tutor has been a fantastic opportunity to get involved in working with the students at the school. By helping out, both in lessons and in one-to-one instrumental lessons, I have got to know them and how the department works within the school. Following on from this role and experience, I have decided to take up teacher training”
