This is an exciting opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children, loves music, and is passionate about helping young people build confidence, teamwork and performance skills through playing in bands together.
We are looking for somebody with strong energy, great people skills and a calm but confident presence leading a room of children. Musical ability is obviously important, but personality, reliability and professionalism are equally key qualities for this role.

- Work with primary-aged children across KS1 and KS2
- Help students rehearse songs throughout the term and prepare for end-of-term performances

- Comfortable transporting music equipment
- Reliable, organised and punctual
- Strong communication and classroom management skills
- Experience working with children
