Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the Secondary Music Education Program, supporting schools to establish a core program of ambitious yet inclusive curriculum and enrichment activity at KS3 through to KS4 and KS5.
  • Provide support to school and subject leaders to create the conditions in which the program can be implemented successfully, and seek to address weaknesses in specific classrooms/phases of underperforming schools.
  • Champion Ark's community of practice, including leading on Head of Department meetings, Network days, and cluster-based moderation of coursework.
  • Develop and maintain strong collaborative relationships both across SMP schools and the secondary network more broadly.
  • Work collaboratively with the Head of Assessment and Ark's Heads of Music to drive a holistic approach to assessment in music that involves pupils in their own development.
  • Lead a program of professional development for teachers at all stages of their careers that results in high-quality learning experiences for pupils in the classroom.
  • Lead the development of an inclusive, financially viable model for school-based enrichment that sees every school having a successful vocal, instrumental, and technology-based enrichment offer.
  • Train a diverse team of professional musicians to deliver this enrichment model.
  • Reference/link work to the Primary Music Program as appropriate, ensuring pupils benefit from a joined-up learning journey.
  • Some evening and weekend work to facilitate the program and to meet important deadlines.
  • Willingness to travel within the UK, using public transport whenever practicable.

Key Requirements:

  • Qualified Teacher Status.
  • An expert teacher with a genuine passion and belief in the potential of every pupil, regardless of their background.
  • A talented musician with an extensive appetite for music of all kinds and the ability to arrange and adapt music to suit the needs of pupils.
  • Experienced in leading and managing a diverse team of people to successfully achieve important goals. This will have included managing performance, providing direction, and having high expectations.
  • Highly organized and efficient in completing a wide variety of work to tight deadlines.
  • A willingness and ability to be fully aligned to, and an advocate for, Ark Music's purpose and ambition across all areas of work, including a focus on championing the value of music in state school education, a collaborative approach to our work that celebrates, encourages, and recognizes individuality and youth voice, and a commitment that every child should have a high-quality music education regardless of their background or ability to pay.
