St Editha's Church, Tamworth, is recruiting a Choral Director to lead our new National Schools Singing Programme (NSSP) and help develop a lasting culture of singing across local primary schools and our church community.

The successful candidate will deliver engaging, inclusive singing sessions in participating schools, teaching healthy vocal technique, pitch, rhythm, musicianship and musical literacy. They will work with teachers to adapt sessions for different ages and abilities, building children's confidence and enjoyment of singing.

Working closely with the Director of Music, they will support St Editha's growing children's choirs, contribute to Friday rehearsals and Sunday services, and help prepare singers for concerts and special events. A key aim is to create a clear pathway from classroom singing into regular choral participation.

The role also includes lesson planning, preparing resources, keeping records of pupil progress, reporting to schools and helping organise collaborative singing events.

We are looking for a confident musician and choral leader who enjoys working with children, communicates well and can work independently. Experience with children is essential; formal teaching qualifications are not.
