SELF-EMPLOYED PERIPATETIC TEACHER OF CLASSICAL GUITAR

Required from January 2025

We seek an outstanding Classical Guitar specialist to join us from January 2025 onwards. This role would best suit a teacher with demonstrable teaching experience, and ideally with some familiarity in working with guitar ensembles. Fundamental to the role will be an equal ability to inspire new-starters and to nurture more experienced players to the highest standards. Direct experience in teaching pupils of primary and secondary school age ranges would be an advantage.

Visiting music teachers are self-employed and are paid £47 per hour (through direct invoicing to parents). There is a room-hire charge of £1 per 30-minute session, payable to the school at the end of each term, supported by a register of lessons.

Music teachers are expected to demonstrate a wider interest in the musical life of the school, directly contributing to, and supporting, the co-curricular rehearsal/concert schedule, where possible - and encouraging their own pupils to participate. Reports are currently written twice per year, in the Michaelmas and Summer Terms.

For further information about the role, please see the candidate pack below. To apply, please download and complete the application form and email it, together with a covering letter of no more than two sides of A4, to Mrs Clare Sherwood, Head, via HeadsPA@cathedral-school.co.uk.

Standards at the school, academic and behavioural are very high and there is a strong Christian ethos. The school is committed to a policy of equality and aims to ensure that no job applicant, member of staff, student or other member of the school community is treated less favourably on grounds of race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin), religion or religious belief, sex or sexual orientation, gender or gender identity, marital or civil partner status, disability or age. It is recognised and welcomed that teaching and support staff will come to the school with a variety of faiths, beliefs and backgrounds. The successful candidate will be required to undergo full DBS clearance in order to establish their suitability to work with children.

Applications are invited by Friday 29th November 2024 at 9.00am.
