Visiting Music Teacher - Singing

About the job

The Perse is one of the country’s leading co-educational independent day schools, providing a high quality education to pupils aged 3-18 in Cambridge. 

The Perse Upper School is seeking an inspirational, experienced singing teacher to join our vibrant Music Department, teaching pupils across the 11-18 age range from November 2024. 

Music is a dynamic, ever-growing department with a rich and varied programme of high-quality events throughout the school year. Our overriding aim is to foster a culture of inclusivity and music for all but with a mindfulness for realising the potential of our most gifted pupil musicians. 

The successful applicant, as a self-employed Visiting Music Teacher, will be offered the opportunity to teach the 10 pupils currently on our waiting list for tuition, in weekly individual lessons on the school site. Applicants would therefore need to commit to teaching for around 5-6 hours of individual lessons on a day of their choosing, though more lessons may be available subject to pupil/parent demand and fair distribution of pupils amongst fellow teachers. 

Individual instrumental lessons are invoiced directly to parents/carers of pupils in a private agreement detailed in the School’s Self-Employed Visiting Music Staff Service Agreement. This document is available on request. 

Applications are to be made by sending a CV with covering letter to music@perse.co.uk
