BusheyHertfordshire, United Kingdom The Purcell School Full time

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced conductor or choir leader who has a passion for choral singing with ages 11-18. 

All 200 students sing in various choirs. This role provides an exciting opportunity to lead part of a new chapter in the history of the Purcell School, bringing together students of classical, jazz, pop and commercial disciplines in a programme of singing that is fun and of a very high standard, and that also supports the development of their aural and general musicianship skills. 

You will have sung in, and led, choirs in a wide range of styles, including the traditional English and European choral music repertoire; you will probably also have some experience of working with backing singers or session singers, in Musical Theatre, with a folk group, in close harmony settings, or in music from other musical cultures. You will be comfortable working from sheet music in a range of languages and also by ear in more improvised or devised work. 

Over the course of several 40- or 60-minute sessions every Thursday you will work with a junior choir (years 7 and 8), two middle school SATB choirs (years 9-11) and also with the whole 6th form of 90 voices. There will be some TA support, but you will be experienced and confident in front of groups of students of different ages. Further opportunities may also present themselves over the course of the school year.

You will work closely with the Director of Music and Head of Academic Music, but will have considerable autonomy in proposing programmes and devising projects.

Please complete the School’s Application Form (available on our website) and send with a supporting Personal Statement. Please note that candidates should be available on Thursdays 9.00-3.40.

The Purcell School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
