About Andrew Jays School of Music
Andrew Jays School of Music is a friendly, family-run music school committed to providing high-quality music education for students of all ages and abilities. Since opening in April 2021, we have grown steadily and continue to expand our services to inspire and support more aspiring musicians.
We believe that music education should be engaging, accessible, and tailored to the individual. Our teachers play a key role in helping students build confidence, develop their skills, and enjoy their musical journey.
The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Voice Teacher to join our growing team.
This position has arisen due to the relocation of our Principal Teacher and offers a unique opportunity to take over an established and active student base. The successful candidate will inherit existing students and continue supporting their musical development while also welcoming new students as the school continues to grow.

- Flexibility and autonomy in delivering lessons.
- A collaborative and student-focused teaching environment.
- Full administrative support, including student enquiries, scheduling, invoicing, and ongoing client communication, allowing you to focus your time and energy on delivering exceptional lessons rather than managing paperwork.

- The chance to make a meaningful impact on students' musical development and confidence.
