Music Teacher, Permanent Part-Time
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Music teacher to join our highly respected team. This position is ideal for an outstanding educator with a real passion for delivering a Music programme from Years 0 - 10.
The successful applicant will be a reflective practitioner who feels called to serve in a Christian school setting. While previous experience in Christian education is not essential, a genuine desire to nurture students to develop hearts aligned with God’s is vital.
We are looking for a teacher who is eager to grow professionally, engage with our teaching philosophy, adjust and pioneer a programme, and participate fully in our ongoing professional development programmes. A willingness to inquire, learn, and apply effective research-based strategies is essential.
Strong interpersonal skills are a must. The successful candidate will build positive relationships with students, colleagues, parents and outside organisations, bringing out the best in them to inspire, accelerate learning and performance. We are seeking a team player with enthusiasm, initiative, and a missional mindset — someone passionate about helping students thrive in the Arts, academically, physically, and spiritually.
While the Music teacher role is not a new one in the school, this will be an opportunity for a teacher coming in to fully align this subject with the new curriculum.
Presently this position is one day per week (0.2 FTE) but with the school growing there may be scope for it to grow too.
Our school is developing a strong, success-oriented culture built on faith, excellence, and community. If you are inspired by this vision and believe you could contribute passionately to it, we would love to hear from you.
The position starts in the week beginning Monday the 20th of July
