We seek to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated **Music Graduate Assistant** (preferably a vocal specialist) from September 2024. This is an exciting opportunity to join our outstanding Music Department to teach singing lessons to students and contribute to the school’s exceptional music provision.
