About Role

Gloucestershire Music (GM) is seeking highly skilled and passionate instrumental and vocal tutors to join their contracted team. Tutors are responsible for the planning and delivery of Whole Class Ensemble Teaching and paired or individual lessons through the GM Peripatetic Service. Whilst administrative tasks are necessary within the role, the primary focus will be on teaching high-quality lessons in schools across the county, fostering a love for music, and helping young people develop their musical interests.

The position is permanent, part-time, term time only (30 weeks a year), with pay spread over 12 months.  The advertised salary is indicative of a full-time post, so a successful candidate would receive the pro rata rate applicable to their timetable.  Depending on the candidate's specialism, we will be able to give you a more accurate prediction of salary at the interview stage.  The hourly rate is £30.96 - £39.97 (including preparation time and annual leave), paid monthly and travel costs can also be claimed.

About You

Applications are welcome from all instrumental specialisms with particular interest in teachers of brass, guitar, strings, and voice.  We are looking for enthusiastic and talented music tutors who are passionate about music education and motivated to work with children to inspire them to start making music and encourage them to continue in a way that suits them.

Travel between schools is necessary in a large, rural county, so tutors will need access to a vehicle and having a driving licence is necessary for this role.  Please do contact us to discuss if you feel this would be a barrier to your application.  See job profile for full details.
