Job description

What skills and experience we’re looking for

Do you live and breathe music? Are you ready to inspire the next generation of musicians and performers? At Catmose College music isn’t just a subject—it’s a vibrant part of our culture. From electrifying concerts to unforgettable trips and workshops, our students experience music in all its forms, and we want you to lead them on that journey.

We teach music as a discrete subject at Key Stage 3 and there is strong GCSE uptake. Beyond the classroom, our students shine in whole-school productions, live performances, and exciting opportunities like playing in the band for "We Will Rock You." Over 100 musicians performed at our last Christmas Concert—proof of the passion that runs through our community.

What we’re looking for

• A dynamic, talented teacher with excellent subject knowledge and classroom skills, or an Early Career Teacher who will join a strong and supportive team.
• Someone with the ability to play at least two musical instruments to a high standard, ideally an accomplished pianist.
• Someone who loves performing and wants to share that joy with students.
• Someone who is ready to develop our thriving music offer across two outstanding schools. Harington School and Catmose College co‑exist on the same campus.

What the school offers its staff / Why join us?

• Outstanding Ofsted ratings and motivated, talented students.
• Exceptional facilities: purpose‑built theatre, dedicated music rooms, and practice spaces.
• A supportive team with a strong track record of staff development and promotion.
• Fantastic benefits: funded Master’s scheme, flexible working, staff gym, free parking, a broad range of opportunities to engage in extracurricular trips and activities, cycle‑share scheme salary sacrifice for bike purchases, and holidays outside the usual term‑time pattern, including a two‑week autumn break and an early summer.

If you’re passionate about music and education, this is your chance to make a real impact.
