About the Role
Gloucestershire Music (GM) is seeking highly skilled and passionate instrumental and vocal tutors to join their contracted team. Tutors are responsible for the planning and delivery of Whole Class Ensemble Teaching and paired or individual lessons through the GM Peripatetic Service. Whilst administrative tasks are necessary within the role, the primary focus will be on teaching high-quality lessons in schools across the county, fostering a love for music, and helping young people develop their musical interests.
The position is permanent, part-time, term time only (30 weeks a year), with pay spread over 12 months. The advertised salary is indicative of a full-time post, so a successful candidate would receive the pro rata rate applicable to their timetable. Depending on the candidate's specialism, we will be able to give you a more accurate prediction of salary at the interview stage. The hourly rate is £30.96 - £39.97 (including preparation time and annual leave), paid monthly and travel costs can also be claimed.
About You
Applications are welcome from all instrumental specialisms with particular interest in teachers of brass, guitar, strings, and voice. We are looking for enthusiastic and talented music tutors who are passionate about music education and motivated to work with children to inspire them to start making music and encourage them to continue in a way that suits them.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Travel between schools is necessary in a large, rural county, so tutors will need access to a vehicle and having a driving licence is necessary for this role. Please do contact us to discuss if you feel this would be a barrier to your application. See job profile for full details.
