Start date: September 2026

Place of work:     Cambourne Village College, Cambourne, Cambridgeshire         

We are seeking to appoint a skilful, enthusiastic and dedicated Teacher of Music from September 2026 to join our growing department.

You will be joining a well-established, vibrant department with a thriving extra-curricular programme and outstanding provision across all key stages. Students in year 7-9 receive three lessons per fortnight, studying a practical and exciting curriculum that develops skills in both music and music technology.

Music is offered at GCSE (OCR) BTEC Music Practice (Edexcel) A level (Eduqas) and A level Music Technology (Edexcel)

The Performing Arts and Music facilities are impressive, with a purpose-built, 300 seat theatre which holds our concerts and productions. Lessons take place in a newly opened Performing Arts block comprising four classrooms, twelve practice rooms, and a recording studio. Each classroom has a set of keyboards (one between two students), a set of ukeleles (one per student), and classroom percussion.

We are extremely proud of our broad extra-curricular provision. There is a long tradition of producing a high-quality musical each year, for 2026 this has been Everybody’s Talking About Jaime, with recent shows including We Will Rock You, Beauty and the Beast, Addams Family Values and Chicago. Across the year there are multiple music concerts, a large-scale arts festival in summer. Younger students get to shine in our lower-school productions for year 7 and 8 students and next year Sixth form students will host their own production. We also run an orchestra, Junior, Senior and Barbershop choirs, a Jazz band and percussion groups.

Full and part-time applications will be considered. This post is suitable for ECTs or experienced teachers.
