Sessional Instrumental / Vocal Teachers

Pay range for unqualified teachers, hourly rate plus employment benefits from (£23 to £35 per hour) to full time equivalent salary £21k - £32k (pay award pending)

Closing Date: Reviewed weekly, to 7 November 2025

Interviews: as needed

From October we require Woodwind, Percussion, Brass and Piano and/or Keyboard specialists.

The role may include teaching groups and individuals in schools and at our centres and contributing to our team-taught whole class programmes and centre ensembles. It will be an advantage if you are also able to teach other instruments in the early stages.

Croydon Music and Arts (CMA) is a service within Croydon Council and part of South West London Music. We work to ensure children and young people in the borough have access to creative opportunities. We work as part of a network of local partners that include Croydon’s schools, cultural organisations and services for children and young people. 

With the support of schools and delivery partners we have developed a programme offering children and young people the opportunity to “develop and discover their interests and talents” (a quote from the Ofsted inspection framework!). Our music provision integrates whole class, large group, small group and individual tuition and ensembles.

We need enthusiastic and talented musicians and teachers to join our team of expert staff. We are particularly interested in musicians with a breadth of skills and knowledge to be able to support young people across a range of styles and performance specialisms. If you have the skills to motivate and inspire young musicians and artists to understand the role of the arts in celebrating Croydon’s diversity, please apply.

Please make sure your application includes your specialism(s) as part of your supporting statement.

CVs will not be seen by the interview panel so the supporting statement should address the points on the Person Specification, giving examples to justify your response. If this is not completed, you will not be called for interview.
