The successful candidate will be a qualified teacher with experience teaching Music, ideally within a secondary school setting. You will be passionate about your subject and able to engage pupils through creative, structured and enjoyable lessons.

We are looking for someone who is reliable, enthusiastic and confident in the classroom, with strong behaviour management skills and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils. You should be comfortable taking responsibility for your own planning, assessment and marking.

Why Apply?

• Start immediately after October half term
• Initial placement through to Christmas
• Potential to continue from January for the right candidate
• Opportunity to establish yourself within a supportive school
