Curriculum Music Teacher

About the role

You will be delivering whole class Curriculum Music lessons as part of our qualified delivery team in schools across Cambridgeshire, shaping and supporting the musical education of pupils across multiple settings.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Alex Bowen via alex.bowen@cambridgeshire.gov.uk 

What will you be doing?

• Designing and teaching high quality and engaging whole-class music lessons that inspire pupils and help them to develop musical skill, knowledge and understanding through sequential and progressive learning.
• Creating broad and balanced music planning that sets high expectations and is inclusive of all learners, regardless of ability.
• Developing detailed, practical, and inspired schemes of work that demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge and are differentiated to support all pupil abilities and learning journeys.
• Contributing to and supporting a reasonable proportion of school events and activities (in line with guidance for use of directed and non-directed time under TPC)
• Assessing and monitoring the progress made by all students in your classes, ensuring that this is shared with the relevant school/s.
• Contributing to, supporting, and be actively involved in on a regular basis with service extra-curricular activities in the schools in which you deliver whole class work.
• Promoting Cambridgeshire Music opportunities outside of your whole class work and encouraging schools, students and their friends and families to engage with these. (For example, membership and participation in music centre and ensemble opportunities.)
• attending inset and service training and follow an agreed program of CPD.

About you

You will have evidence of a track record of practice across music education and are able to provide this particularly from early years up to the end of Key Stage 2. Experience in the delivering of secondary whole-class work is an advantage, but not essential. You will be able to consistently demonstrate an ability to plan and deliver engaging content which allows all pupils to make meaningful progressions in their musical learning, developing key skills and understanding of a wide range of music, through enjoyable lessons.
