You will work with the Big Noise team to deliver excellent musical education and learning experiences for our children, young people and communities; this will include instrumental lessons, general musicianship sessions, and group teaching in our afterschool programme, as well as home visits and community performances. Wherever possible, we will match your musical skills and interests with the different elements of the Big Noise programme, while encouraging and supporting you to develop in other areas.

You will be educated to degree level or equivalent qualification and have professional performing experience. Working with large and varied groups of children and young people is essential, along with a track record of success in teaching children and young people on your specialist instrument. You will also have a belief in the benefits that a social programme such as Big Noise can have.

We believe our people should represent the communities we work with. That's why we are committed to being an inclusive employer and a great place to work. We recognise and celebrate the fact that our people come from diverse backgrounds. We positively welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities or longstanding health conditions, people who are LGBTQ+, and people from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds, as well as people of all ages.
