Assistant Director of Music

About the job

St Barnabas is seeking to appoint an Assistant Director of Music from January 2025.

The successful candidate will be joining a church that has a known and well-established choral tradition and which continues to be ambitious in its aims. The parish has two renowned organs and there is a talented and vibrant community of singers that number nearly 100 each week.

This role supports the Director of Music and organists in ensuring there is both excellent music throughout the year and an outstanding provision for all ages within the Parish of St Barnabas with Christ’s Chapel. Specific areas of responsibility will be tailored to the talents and interests of the successful candidate; however, the post holder will be expected to play a full role in rehearsing, leading and directing the parish’s multiple choirs (and, where relevant, playing the organ to a very high standard).

Depending on the skills of the successful candidate, a key area of work will include: continuing the development of a Youth Choir; developing the role of the organ through recitals, teaching and outstanding playing; or ensuring recruitment for each choir remains active, forward-thinking and engaging.
