Graduate Music Assistant

About the job

For September 2025 until July 2026

Graduate Music Assistants are advanced performers who provide advice and coaching for our exceptional young musicians. To a certain degree, each role can be tailored to individual skills and future aspirations. The ability to assist with other musical disciplines, including piano accompaniment, theory, aural and accompaniment, is also an asset. Applicants should be prepared to work flexible hours, approximately 44 hours per week, term time plus 2 additional weeks (35 weeks per annum).

Applications should include a short video (maximum 5 minutes) of a performance on their first instrument; this can be with or without accompaniment.

Accommodation is available on a first come first served basis. Where this is the case, a charge (currently £400 per month) is made and this is deducted from the monthly salary.

It may be possible to combine the post with a residential post within a boarding house and this can be discussed further at the interview.

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and Wells Cathedral School reserves the rights to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early.

Closing date: Thursday 13 February 2025, at 12 noon

Interviews are scheduled to take place on Wednesday 26 February and Thursday 27 February 2025
