The hourly salary for this role is £29.86 per hour, inclusive of 15.5% Holiday Pay (hourly rate is anticipated to increase following confirmation of the 26-27 financial year inflationary pay award). This equates to an annual salary of £9,853 per annum based on working 10 hours per week, 33 weeks per year (330 hours per year). Salary will vary depending on the actual number of hours worked.
Are you a talented and creative musician who wants to share their passion for playing an instrument and making music with children and young people across Surrey? Come and work for Surrey Arts, Surrey’s leading provider of youth music lessons, ensembles and instrument hire.
Ideally, the candidate would be able to offer multiple woodwind instruments (e.g. flute, clarinet, saxophone – acknowledging that this would be to different standards) or offer a second additional instrument such as piano. However, for the right candidate, we would consider only one.
This is an exciting opportunity for woodwind teachers to join our talented team of experienced and committed teaching staff. Across 33 weeks of the academic year, you will deliver high quality and inspiring music education to students at various schools and venues around the county.
You will join a team dedicated to “changing lives through world class arts”. Surrey Arts is an ambitious and forward-thinking organisation that places young people at the centre of our work. We are committed to developing Surrey Arts as a genuinely inclusive organisation, and one that meets the needs of the whole diverse community of Surrey.
Teaching takes place during the school day, after school and at the weekend, at various schools and music centres in Surrey. You will therefore need to have the willingness and ability to travel around the county to meet the demands of the role.
Job Requirements
Recognised music diploma/degree or equivalent professional experience.
Passionate about the importance of music with a genuine desire to help all students express themselves musically.
Ability to teach a range of students, adapting teaching style and genre of music to deliver engaging lessons that offer challenge and independence appropriate to age and ability.
Knowledge of and willingness to learn music exam specifications and how to prepare students for exams (as appropriate).
ICT literate: ability to use email and web-based platforms.
Understanding of safeguarding and commitment to ensuring the welfare of students.
Commitment to continuing professional development and strong interpersonal skills to build positive relationships with students, parents and colleagues.
A flexible approach to working due to changes in teaching schedules and ability to travel around the county.
