Job overview

Warminster School is looking for a Graduate Music Assistant for a 1-year fixed term contract for the 2020 - 2021 academic year (Sept 2020 - July 2021) to work in both the Senior and Prep schools. The position is salaried (salary on application) plus accommodation for the whole year (including holidays) and meals throughout term-time. 

The role is flexible and can be tailored to the strengths and experience of the successful applicant. Duties will include administration work, assisting in classroom lessons, assisting the Director of Music in planning concerts, rehearsal and performance work, working with individual pupils who need additional support and also boarding duties. There are also opportunities to work with Music Technology in a number of guises. 

The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, highly organised and will enjoy working with young musicians of all abilities. The ability to play the piano and another instrument to a high standard would be an obvious advantage, but is not essential and should not preclude non-pianists from applying. 

The 2020-2021 academic year is going be very busy and exciting with a large number of concerts and events. This position would suit a university student on a placement year or a recent music graduate interested in gaining experience in the thriving music department of a leading independent boarding school. Previous assistants have gone on to work at prestigious London musical establishments, including conservatoires and West End theatres, as well as in television production and the teaching profession.

If you would like to apply for this exciting position, please contact the current post holder, Miss Lauren Windsor, on music@warminsterschool.org.uk for an application pack.  Email applications are encouraged.

The closing date for applications is noon on Monday 16 March. Interviews are likely to be held on Monday 23 March.

Warminster is a co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 3 to 18 in the South West of England. Life at Warminster is a busy one, filled with academic and co-curricular activity, discovery and adventure.

Our aim is simple: to inspire a life-long love of learning in those around us. So every day we use our expertise, ingenuity and enthusiasm to do just that. All children enjoy and are good at something; a school's job is to help them find and nurture their talents. Our experienced teaching staff continually encourage academic aspiration and learning. We strongly believe that a passion pursued now will offer untold opportunities for the future.

Every child is encouraged to aspire academically and to enjoy their learning. We are proud that our pupils not only fulfill their academic potential but are challenged to develop an intellectual curiosity and to have lively minds. These are habits that last a lifetime.

Young people today face an unpredictable world but there are certain timeless aspects of a genuine education. We place strong emphasis on character and values and we want our pupils to leave as well-rounded, well-mannered, self-confident, articulate and fundamentally decent people with a sense of duty and integrity.

Pastoral care is the most important aspect of any school: a child who is happy and feels safe can flourish and Warminster is committed to providing a secure and supportive pastoral environment. Living and learning with each other requires good social skills and we also place strong emphasis on the importance of ‘social learning’, along with qualities such as tolerance, patience and compassion.

We offer a wide range of co-curricular opportunities and experiences, and foster a culture of enthusiasm, optimism and ‘getting stuck in’. We prepare our pupils for life beyond school - at university and in the world of work. Most of all, though, we are a community, in which each boy and girl is valued and nurtured on the basis of who they are, whatever their age, natural gifts or background.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma is offered as an alternative to A Levels in our thriving Sixth Form. The Diploma provides a range of academic choices within a challenging and stimulating curriculum, together with a wide variety of practical activities which invite creativity, action and service.

Warminster School is located in the town of Warminster in Wiltshire – a peaceful and attractive rural setting, on the edge of Salisbury Plain. With good road and rail links we are a little under two hours from London by train and within easy reach of Bath, Bristol and Salisbury.
