Cardinal Griffin Catholic College

Teacher of Music / Preforming Arts (Full Time)

The rate of pay will be Main Pay Scale / Upper Pay Scale

We have a rare vacancy at present for a full-time Music / Performing Arts Teacher with willingness to manage BTEC in Music / Performing Arts to join us in September 2021.

This is an exciting vacancy for a full time teacher of Music / Performing Arts.  The College has recently increased the amount of performing arts in the curriculum and as part of this now requires a Full Time Teacher to join us.  This role will also be significant in delivering our extra curricular provision and for the right candidate hours will include some timetabled outreach work with our feeder primary schools.  This will be negotiated with the candidates at interview.  

Staff at the College feedback frequently on the pleasant nature of pupils and the relative absence of behavioral problems to manage because pupils are engaged in their learning. The College also champions staff well-being and has reviewed its directed time and calendar based on feedback from the staff about the demands of their roles. Support for both new teachers and those at different career stages is excellent as are opportunities to grow develop and progress.

It is important that the successful candidate is a good fit in our team of staff, and so they may be highly experienced or just starting out on their teaching journey, what matters to us is their passion for teaching, strength as a classroom practitioner and love of their subject area.  NQT’s who can demonstrate the potential to be outstanding teachers are encouraged to apply.

The College encourages applications from those of the Catholic faith, but it is not a barrier to appointment if candidates do not have that faith background provided they support the ethos of the College. We are extremely proud of our ethos which comes in very large part from our Jesuit Associate School membership and Catholic Diocesan heritage. This teaches us to be grateful for the gift of teaching that we have and to be generous in using it for the good of our pupils. 

Given the current circumstances surrounding Covid19, it is likely interviews will be managed differently to our normal process and interviews will be online via MS Teams.

Closing date for applications is 9am, 27^th January 2021; although the College reserves the right to interview as soon as it has a suitable field of candidates and so encourages early applications.

Previous applicants need not apply.

Interviews will take place week beginning 1^st February 2021.
