Let the school bells be your backing track…

Ready to strike a chord this September? We’re on the lookout for a passionate Music Teacher to inspire young minds in a welcoming Hartlepool secondary school.

What we’re looking for:

• Ideally QTS, but strong non-QTS candidates with school-based experience will be considered

• A love for all things musical and a knack for making learning fun

• Good behaviour management and classroom presence (think maestro energy)

• Someone who can bring out the best in even the quietest students
