Rocksteady Music School is the UK's biggest employer of full-time, permanent musicians. We teach in-school rock and pop band lessons to primary-age children. We're a community of musicians and music-lovers, on a mission to remove barriers to music education so that no child gets left behind. We're currently in thousands of schools in the UK, teaching over 100,000 children every week - and we're growing fast. Join us as a band leader and your passion will inspire the next generation.
As a band leader you will:
- Teach groups of primary-age children in a fun, inspiring rock and pop band format in up to 10 schools per week.
- Give children their first opportunity to learn an instrument – you'll be teaching drums, guitar, bass, keyboard and vocals.
- Work independently as part of a remote team of band leaders, the biggest team of like-minded musicians in the UK, with the support of our central teams too.
- Be a rock and pop star role-model, empowering and supporting children in primary schools to deliver live performances at their end-of-term concerts.
- Help children develop their self-belief, resilience and wellbeing through performing in a band.
- Represent Rocksteady, building strong relationships with schools, teachers and parents.
- Be prepared for highly active days and to spend time on the road driving between schools. You'll need to load and unload your band equipment, set-up and pack away in each location.
As a band leader you'll need:
- To be competent on at least two of the following instruments: drums, guitar, bass, keyboard and vocals.
- The enthusiasm to learn how to teach band lessons and complete our extensive training programme before you start your timetable.
- The resilience to work in a role that provides some of your greatest moments and biggest challenges - often all in the same day!
- The confidence to be yourself at work, be proud of your uniqueness and communicate equally well with children, teachers and parents.
- The integrity to always promote the safety and well-being of children and young people.
- To be an organised, independent worker, with good time management and administration skills.
- A UK/EU driving licence and your own transport. This role requires you to use your own car to transport equipment and drive between schools.
We appreciate that previous experience does not always tell the full story, so if you like the sound of this role, don’t rule yourself out if you feel you don’t tick all the boxes.
Benefits:
- Full-time, salaried position.
- Work Monday - Friday, daytimes only.
- 11+ weeks paid holiday per year.
