VISITING MUSIC TEACHER – SINGING
Job commences - January 2025
Application deadline - Wednesday 27 November 2024
Contract type - Casual / Self-employed
The school is seeking an experienced, enthusiastic and highly organised Singing Teacher to be part of our vibrant Music department and teach individual 30-minute lessons to children from Years 2 to 8.
The role requires the teacher to provide pupils with a rounded musical education and the successful applicant will be an experienced and talented teacher, who is able to inspire young musicians to perform to the highest possible standard as well as being an active performer in their own right. The teacher will be able to develop their pupils’ musicianship through building a wide vocal repertoire, developing practice routines, and instilling a love of music.
The Music Department is well resourced and, as such, there are many opportunities to support extra-curricular activities through additional group coaching and to accompany concerts and pupils at the direction of the Director of Music.
There are currently approximately 14 pupils. The teacher will be responsible for organising their own timetable, liaising with parents, report on progress, preparing children for music exams and encouraging children to perform in concerts.
The teacher, as with all of our visiting music teachers, will be paid directly by parents at a rate set by the teacher, usually between £26 and £30 per 30-minute lesson. The teacher will be seen as self-employed, and they pay a fee of £1 per hour to the school, to hire their teaching room.
Visiting Music Teachers are responsible to the Director of Music, in all matters relating to performance, ensembles, recruitment and pupil progress and the day-to-day management of their timetables.
Candidates will be invited to interview and to be observed teaching a one to one lesson.
Please ensure you review the job application pack for detailed information about the role and application process. The pack includes essential details about the job responsibilities, required qualifications, and instructions on how to apply.

We believe that having a diverse workforce offers different perspectives which helps us to work towards our shared vision and strongly encourage suitably qualified applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply to join our School.

Newland House is a very special school. You only have to walk through the front door to experience its wonderfully friendly atmosphere and the great sense of purpose that symbolises so much of what is done here. Set in three buildings, it boasts a newly established Nursery, a Pre-Prep in a new, stylish and ergonomic building and a Prep which mixes the modern and traditional.
It is proud of its achievements, not only because children regularly win scholarships to some of the best independent senior schools in the country, but because their awards are not just academic but are for music, sport, art and all round ability too.
The school’s strength lies in the breadth of education it provides. Every child has the ability to succeed. Teachers find the areas in which they show promise and nurture them.
The sense of family and community and the mutual support between teachers and pupils is an especially strong feature of the school. Newland House School wants its children to be happy and self –confident, as well as having the desire to care for and respect others too.
