Inspiration Trust are seeking to appoint a Visiting Music Teacher with a Brass specialism. If you are an excellent teacher, who is passionate about education and are excited about continuing to develop your practice, then we want to hear from you.
The successful applicant will plan and deliver high-quality instrumental/vocal teaching within multiple Academies across the Trust and will facilitate co-curricular musical opportunities. While most teaching will take place during school hours, some work will be required out of school hours, most notably for rehearsals, performances and exams.
