Peripatetic Part-Time Teacher of Clarinet

4 days ago

Sheffield S DH, United Kingdom Birkdale School Full time

The Role and Responsibilities

We seek to appoint a Clarinet teacher from February 2026 to join our existing team of peripatetic teachers. Birkdale's music is bursting at the seams. There are many bands, choirs and other ensembles in both the Senior and Prep departments, and these are coordinated by the Senior School and Prep School Directors of Music. The standard of performance is high, and still improving further. The successful candidate will join a team of 3 full-time and 19 part-time staff.

The successful candidate will be a proficient clarinettist, able to teach from beginner standard to Grade 8 and beyond, and able to communicate a sense of fun and enthusiasm for music across a range of musical styles. There will be approximately 8 pupils to teach initially, with ages ranging from 6 – 18, which equates to around a day of teaching. However, we would like to build this number and the successful candidate will be offered support to recruit pupils.

Music has a high profile within the School, and both Prep and Senior pupils take part in regular public performances. Whereas we seek to stretch the most talented to the full, we also aim to encourage every pupil in the School to enjoy music, and take its study to their own level. It is important that the person appointed is able to teach pupils who are of average ability with enthusiasm, as well as taking the high fliers.

Part-time peripatetic teachers are regarded as self-employed, and the School gives them a contract for services.
