Putting people at the heart of what we do - no matter what challenges we face is the basis of our core values: Stockport, team, ambition and respect.

These values originated from colleagues across the council and run through everything we do. Our employees are our greatest asset and we’re proud of the way we provide vital frontline services every day to our most vulnerable residents.

 

Stockport Music Service is seeking to appoint instrumental teachers to begin work in September 2022 in the following disciplines;

• Guitar

• Ukulele

• Keyboard

• Strings

• Brass

• Woodwind & recorder

• Drum kit & percussion

• Vocal

• Curriculum music

 

The work will involve small group instrumental teaching and whole class ensemble teaching in schools during the day and some evening ensemble work at the music centre.  The curriculum role will be delivering primary music teaching to schools in Key Stage 2.  There are a mixture of hours available, with the possibility of part-time and full-time work for flexible applicants who can deliver a range of instruments.

 

The successful applicants will be enthusiastic music educators who can work flexibly with different age ranges and schools.  You will be working with complete beginners through to students preparing for high level ABRSM and Trinity examinations so must have a good technical knowledge of the demands made on your instruments/voice and the ability to communicate this to your pupils alongside the general musical knowledge required.

 

You will be enthusiastic and self-motivated with the ability to engage young people and communicate your love of music.  Although this is a temporary contract in the first instance, there may be opportunities for further work once ended.
