Description of Job

We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic musician to support our diverse programme of choirs, children's and youth music, worship and community music. The Associate Director of Music will have particular responsibility for our choir for secondary-aged children.

The extra 4 hours in the role are guaranteed for the first year, to cover some responsibilities for the Director of Music during maternity leave as well as the first year of a new adult choral scholarship scheme. The hours will be reviewed at the end of this time.

We are looking for someone with strong keyboard and choir-directing skills, as well as management and teaching capability, experience of church music, and the ability to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds.

It may be possible for us to help with affordable accommodation within the parish if this is needed: please reach out for an informal conversation if this would be helpful for you.

This is a Christian ministry role and there is a genuine occupational requirement for the successful applicant to be a practising Christian.

St Anselm's is a welcoming, community-focused church in the heart of Kennington, part of North Lambeth Parish. We are an active and outward-looking congregation with a strong sense of belonging to the multicultural life of London. St Anselm's combines the feel of a village church with a celebration of our African, European and other Global-Majority heritages. Building trusting and sincere relationships, and creating a genuine sense of welcome, are central to our life together.
