Visiting Music Teacher - Piano

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher of Piano who will inspire a love of music and high levels of motivation in our students. The successful candidate will have experience both as a teacher and performer at all levels and be willing to teach students from beginner level up to Grade 8 level and beyond.

The successful candidate will be flexible and pro-active in their approach and have good communication skills as well as the ability to work well with young people across both our Junior and Senior Schools. They may also have the ability to teach another discipline such as music theory, but this is not an essential requirement.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Music Department at St. Dunstan’s. In 2021 we moved into exciting new facilities, with extremely high levels of demand for individual music lessons and co-curricular music. There is a team of more than 30 Visiting Music Teachers who are supported by the Head of Instrumental Studies.

Initially, the role will entail approximately 10-12 hours of teaching which the current teacher splits across two days each week.

Employment Status: Part Time - Fixed Term

Application closes: 09:00 9 June 2025

Interviews Commencing: Monday 16 June 2025

Early applications are advised as the College reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.

St Dunstan’s College reflects the diverse location in which it is situated. In a recent review of our racial diversity by ‘Flair Impact’, we were found to be the most racially diverse school out of their client base of over 30 British independent schools. We see diversity to be of intrinsic and essential value to the contemporary, ambitious and forward-thinking education we offer at St Dunstan’s. We encourage applications from people who share this view, and from professionals of all backgrounds, communities and industries. We are a school that places individuality and identity at the heart of what we do.

The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post. As this role involves 'regulated activity' with children the successful applicant will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure application. Employment will be conditional upon the College being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS check and the outcome of all other checks. 

The College will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List on the successful applicant. Applicants should be aware that it is unlawful for the College to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so.

This role is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the College is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
