Popular Musician in Residence

We are looking to appoint an outstanding individual to join us at Cheadle Hulme School as our Popular Musician in Residence from September 2024.

The Role

Working alongside the academic music teachers, the post holder will help to deliver Year 7 rock and pop music lessons. There will also be an element of administration and resource planning within the role and you will be encouraged to be involved in rehearsals and other academic lessons to suit your strengths.

The role is full-time, term-time role for one year, and attracts a salary of £22,971 full time equivalent. The role will start in September 2024. The role is a great opportunity for a recent graduate to gain experience within a school.

We would also like to encourage those who would consider a job share to also apply. If the role was given to share between two successful candidates this would allow those in the role to work or gain further experience elsewhere.
