Both roles will work under the supervision of the Director of the School of Music and the Head of Music (Creative & Technical).

The ideal candidate would be a music teacher with industry experience, and with experience of teaching at HE level in both theoretical and practical contexts. You will be an enthusiastic, highly skilled professional with excellent communication skills, and be committed to providing an excellent experience for our students.

We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience, generous pension, and holiday entitlements, complimentary tickets to our inhouse productions, and the opportunity to become part of our unique international community of creatives, performers, technicians, managers, and film makers.

This is a permanent post to commence from September 2025.
