These are long-term positions with both full-time and part-time options available, ideal for experienced teachers or ECTs who are confident and enthusiastic about building a strong musical culture within the school.

The Role:

You will be responsible for delivering Music across Key Stages 3 and 4, with some schools offering GCSE, BTEC, or A-Level Music depending on the department's structure. You'll plan and teach dynamic, inclusive lessons that cater to a broad range of abilities and musical backgrounds.

  • Encourage participation in music both within and beyond the classroom

  • Maintain a well-organised and inspiring classroom environment

  • Collaborate with colleagues in the performing arts and across the wider school to promote cross-curricular links

  • Support the department's use of technology (e.g. GarageBand, Logic Pro, Sibelius, or other DAWs)

What We're Looking For:

  • A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with a specialism in Music or Performing Arts

  • Up-to-date knowledge of the Music curriculum and exam board requirements

  • Strong musicianship and the ability to teach a range of instruments or voice is a plus

  • A creative, energetic approach to teaching and learning

  • Experience in leading or supporting school concerts, ensembles, or productions

  • Excellent classroom management skills and a commitment to inclusive education

What's on Offer:

  • A supportive school environment that values the arts and encourages creativity

  • Competitive daily rates, paid weekly

  • Free access to CPD through The National College, including Music-specific training

  • Long-term stability with potential for a permanent post

  • A dedicated Tradewind consultant to support you throughout your placement
