Bury St Edmunds
Can you turn a classroom into a concert hall? We are looking for a Music specialist who can inspire students to find their rhythm, refine their technique, and compose their own future.
We are seeking a talented and versatile Qualified Music Teacher (QTS) to join a creative and well-equipped department in Bury St Edmunds. Whether you are a classically trained pianist, a tech-savvy producer, or a seasoned performer, we need an educator who can engage students across KS3 and KS4. This school prides itself on its performing arts culture, and we need a teacher who can lead both the curriculum and the extracurricular heartbeat of the school.
Your Responsibilities
- Dynamic Lesson Delivery: Plan and deliver high-energy lessons that balance the three pillars of Music: Performing, Composing, and Appraising.
- GCSE & BTEC Excellence: Lead Year 10 and 11 students through their exam specifications, providing expert guidance on performance techniques, set-work analysis, and composition portfolios.
- Music Technology Integration: Utilise modern software (such as Sibelius, Logic Pro, or GarageBand) to make composition accessible and professional for all learners.
- Extracurricular Leadership: Coordinate and lead school choirs, bands, or orchestras, and organize seasonal concerts and showcase events to celebrate student talent.
- Inclusive Harmony: Differentiate lessons to support students of all musical backgrounds-from those picking up an instrument for the first time to advanced Grade 8 musicians.
- Instrumental Management: Work alongside peripatetic teachers to ensure a cohesive musical education for students receiving 1:1 tuition.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory. A degree in Music, Music Performance, or a related field.
- Multi-Instrumental Proficiency: A strong personal standard in at least one instrument (or voice) and a working knowledge of keyboard/guitar for classroom demonstration.
- Enthusiastic Presence: The ability to create a "fail-safe" environment where students feel confident to perform and experiment with sound.
- Curriculum Knowledge: A deep understanding of diverse musical genres, from classical and jazz to pop and world music.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one urgently through Randstad).
