Thank you for considering joining our welcoming school community at St George’s in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.

We teach and learn within a beautiful campus which inspires us every day. Whether it is the panoramic views of Edinburgh from our Upper School library windows, the secret leafy hideaway of our Fantastical Forest or the creative corners of the dedicated Arts buildings, the school is buzzing with the hum of activity and debate.

St George’s has been dedicated to educating girls since 1888, and the same guiding principles of boldness and vision sit at the heart of the school, albeit in an entirely different and modern context.

In addition, the post holder will also direct and assist with orchestral rehearsals and string sectionals across the school and be involved in concerts.

The requirement is to be in school two days per week (preferably Tuesday and Wednesday). Hours consist of 6 hours across two days, plus individual lessons paid at a separate rate.

We offer an attractive benefits package, including:

- Reduced school fees and wraparound care at St George’s School
