School Vacancies

We are seeking a new full-time Teacher of Music for 1 year from September 2021.

This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone seeking NQT status (we can offer a full induction programme) or an exceptional graduate wanting to enter the profession (again, we have a full training and induction programme in place).

The ideal candidate for the post will be an enthusiastic and well-qualified musician who is educated to degree level. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital as well as being able to work as part of a strong team.

Music is integral to life at Alleyn’s.

The Music Department is particularly well-resourced and offers outstanding facilities, small teaching groups and a commitment to excellence.

The working environment is excellent and the staff engender a good-humoured and highly motivated atmosphere; relationships between the full-time staff and the visiting instrumental staff are excellent and truly valued.
