Musical Requirements:
Are you a talented musician who loves sharing church music with young people?
Are you flexible in your approach and someone comfortable with a range of music from modern to traditional?
This is an exciting and well-funded five-year project where four neighbouring churches have come together to employ a musical director to set up and run choirs or singing groups for young people in each of our contexts.
The successful applicant will be a talented musician, keyboardist and singer, with experience of running choirs and of teaching young people. They will be a capable self-starter, able to see potential in each of our different settings, flexible enough to work with different churches and with an appreciation of the spiritual side of the life of the Church. They will be supported in this role by a full-time Youth and Families Worker dedicated completely to this project.
The project’s work ranges from setting up a children’s top line for a choir of an already good parish standard, to working with a church on an estate of urban deprivation to enhance their midweek musical offering.
The post will require regularly working on Sundays and some early evening work. We offer six weeks’ annual leave, a starting salary of £36,000 (£60,000 FTE) plus pension contributions, regular management and oversight meetings and reimbursement of travel between venues.
Closing date: Monday 16th February at 12 noon.
Interviews: Thurs 26th Feb (afternoon).
