Job Summary
Job Description
We currently have a vacancy for a permanent, salaried peripatetic Music Technology / Music Production Teacher working both during and after school hours on weekdays. The role will involve delivering engaging music technology lessons to individuals and small groups across schools and Surrey Arts centres in the Dorking, Staines-upon-Thames and Guildford areas.
We are looking for an individual with experience of teaching music production and technology using industry-standard software and equipment. Applicants should be confident teaching areas such as digital audio workstation (DAW) skills, recording techniques, beat-making, composition, song writing, sequencing and creative music production. Advanced knowledge of platforms such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live or similar would be essential.
If you have the ability to teach an additional musical instrument or support wider Surrey Arts projects and ensembles, please indicate this on your application.
You will join a team dedicated to “changing lives through world class arts”. Surrey Arts is an ambitious and forward-thinking organisation that places young people at the centre of our work. We are committed to developing Surrey Arts as a genuinely inclusive organisation, and one that meets the needs of the whole diverse community of Surrey.
The advertised salary is based on delivering one-to-one and small group music tuition. If you are able to offer other instruments, there would also be the opportunity to deliver whole class teaching or be an ensemble conductor or assistant conductor (subject to a post being available). These activities attract a higher hourly rate of pay, and the annual salary will be increased in accordance with Surrey Arts Teacher Pay Scales.
Job Requirements
Recognised music diploma/degree or equivalent professional experience
Recent experience teaching children and young people in UK schools, youth settings or community environments including children and young people with additional needs or barriers to learning
Ability to teach a range of students, adapting teaching style and genre of music to deliver engaging lessons that offer challenge and independence appropriate to age and ability
An enhanced DBS ‘Disclosure and Barring Service’ check for regulated activity (formerly known as CRB) and the Children’s Barred List checks will be required for this role.
This role is subject to an online / social media check as part of our safer recruitment processes, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance.
Teaching takes place during the school day, after school and at the weekend, at various schools and music centres in Surrey. You will therefore need to have the willingness and ability to travel around the county.
