Job Summary

We are seeking a passionate and inspirational teacher with a singing specialism to join our weekly team from January 2027.

Job Description

We are based in Chelmsford, Essex, just ~35 minutes on the train from London Liverpool Street, and a further 5-10 minute walk from the station.

Our students are aged 7-19 and are bright, enthusiastic, and keen to progress. Among our student body are multiple national competition finalists and winners, performers with West End experience, and scholars at their respective day schools. High expectations are set for students, and consequently we love working with ambitious teachers who have excellent, contemporaneous knowledge of the musical theatre industry, repertoire, and vocal technique, and who are committed to pushing students to achieve more than the "ordinary".

Dates and times of engagement are Saturdays during school term-time, from January 2027, starting at 1.00pm. While we have not yet confirmed student numbers for the term, we would expect an absolute minimum of 2 hours teaching (far more likely to be 2.5 or 3) to be confirmed by mid-December 2026.

This position is paid, at £30.00 per hour.

Job Requirements

Essential qualities:
- Previous experience working with young people
- Professional work in theatre or music within the last 3 years
- Passionate about training the next generation of professional performers
- Positive, engaging, friendly personality
- Excellent knowledge of contemporary musical theatre repertoire & vocal techniques
- Enhanced DBS checked, or prepared to be if offered the role

Desirable qualities:
- A good, evidenced track record of preparing students for colleges and professional auditions up to and including the West End
- Experience teaching exceptionally talented, advanced students
- High-level experience in the performing arts industry

Piano-playing is an excellent quality, but not essential. We have worked with excellent MD/pianist singing teachers as well as excellent singing teachers who are pure vocalists and performers themselves.

Additional specialism in acting is of interest, as it would provide scheduling flexibility, but very much not essential.

Job Responsibilities

Planning & delivering 1-to-1 singing lessons, which may include selecting repertoire and coaching for auditions.

All timetabling and parent communication is handled by us, to protect your privacy and non-working hours.
