We are looking for an inspiring, experienced teacher to join our team!

Vacancy for a brand new block of piano teaching, mainly one to one teaching, plus potentially some group teaching: 3 children or 3 adults, beginners.

New block: building up gradually from c.60-90 mins according to demand; likely to around 3:30pm to 8pm or similar within a few months.

Further teaching likely to be offered over the next years, we are a growing organisation.

Remuneration: an hourly rate of £34 including holiday entitlement for individual tuition, £36.31 for any group tuition offered.

We are looking for someone who is interested to commit to the organisation - to our values and ambitions, to the students, teachers, families and staff. The teacher would be joining a team who are invested in the organisation and in the journey we are taking together - as one of the only independent full-service music organisations founded in the last ten years, which since its foundation in 2016 has grown to a highly respected and nationally recognised organisation. We’re looking for the right person to join us as we continue to innovate and grow over the next years.

Positions are self-employed, hours are by agreement and based during term time, with some additional holiday teaching by agreement.

We value our teachers very highly and work hard to create the conditions to allow them to teach to the best of their ability, to enjoy teaching, and to continue learning.
