We are seeking a dedicated and talented Percussion Teacher to join our team and inspire students across Kirklees. This exciting role offers the opportunity to deliver engaging one-to-one and small-group lessons, as well as Whole-Class Instrumental Teaching, helping pupils unlock their musical potential and discover the joy of rhythm through instruments such as African drums, samba, and hand chimes.

The role currently offers 4.5 hours of percussion teaching per week across a 33-week school year, with lessons delivered in schools and at one of our vibrant Music Centres on Friday afternoons and evenings. However, there is significant scope to expand your hours, with exciting opportunities to grow your timetable by recruiting and teaching additional students. This flexibility means you can shape the role to suit your ambitions, with endless possibilities to develop your teaching practice and inspire more young musicians. We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic percussionist who can bring lessons to life, nurture confidence in young players, and play a vital part in shaping the next generation of musicians.

You will require an Enhanced DBS, and you will need to be able to transport yourself between different schools during each working day

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
