We are open to candidates who possess a variety of skills and experience so please do apply even if you don't have experience in all the areas listed below.

Responsibilities

• Provide outstanding organ and piano accompaniment for occasional weekday and Sunday chapel services, supporting and inspiring the Chapel Choir, accompanying rehearsals and services both on and off site, and leading sectional rehearsals when needed.

• Accompany pupils in concerts and music exams, helping them shine.
• Plan orders of service for key services throughout the year (e.g. Carol Services, Harvest Festival, Advent/Christmas services).
• Write, arrange or lead orchestral pieces for the School's orchestra, individualised for the capabilities and makeup of the groups.
• Flexible working and living options meaning you can work full or part time, live on site or commute – whatever suits your circumstances.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience teaching the organ, ideally work with scholarship‑level pupils.

• Experience accompanying pupils in concerts, recitals, competitions or music exams (e.g. ABRSM, Trinity).
• Experience planning or contributing to orders of service for school or church settings (e.g. Advent/Christmas services, Harvest) would be advantageous.
• Skills in arranging or composing, particularly for school‑level orchestras or mixed‑ability ensembles, with ability to tailor arrangements to suit instrumentation, ability levels and character of specific groups.
• Strong organisational skills for managing rehearsals, planning music and coordinating with staff.
• Reliability and professionalism, especially when supporting key school events.
• Confidence working with young people in both group and individual settings, nurturing confident, independent musicianship in pupils.
• Patience, encouragement, good communication skills and collaborative approach, working closely with the Director of Music and other staff with flexibility to support occasional evening or weekend services.
