New College Worcester is a nationally regarded non-maintained residential special school, devoted to the education of visually impaired young people aged 11 – 19. We are seeking to appoint from September, or later for the right candidate:

DIRECTOR OF MUSIC (AC216/0622)

Salary: MSP + SEN (min) or SEN (max) for QTVI + TLR 2a

Are you the inspirational teacher we are looking for? Someone who would enjoy the challenge of developing new skills in a friendly and rewarding setting? If so then we encourage you to find out more about this interesting and exciting role. Music is an important part of any curriculum but especially for young people whose world is auditory. We are keen to appoint someone with the teaching expertise and passion for inclusive education that our students rightly deserve. Experience of teaching students with a vision impairment is not a requirement of the post as the College is primarily interested in appointing a talented and committed teacher who will train to become a qualified teacher of the vision impaired (QTVI) and be pro-active in leaning how children and young people with a vision impairment access music in all its forms from KS3 to A Level including Music Technology. The salary increases to the maximum SEN allowance once qualified as a teacher of the Vision Impaired (QTVI). 

NCW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is conditional on an enhanced DBS clearance and Registration, satisfactory references, medical clearance and a six-month probationary period. NCW is an Equal Opportunities employer
