Music Tutor

Do you want to facilitate music sessions that develop musical skills and use music to enhance communication skills? We are looking for a creative Music Tutor to join our Creative Programmes Team. You will be responsible for planning and delivering music sessions to adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Music has the power to positively impact students, from confidence and motor skills to team-working and self-esteem.

Share is a registered charity and a centre for training and wellbeing. We provide a range of programmes empowering adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and adults with other support needs to live happier, healthier, and more independent lives. Our vision is a world where disabled people are fully included in society, living the life they choose, and we need talented people to help us make that happen.

• You will develop, plan and deliver a curriculum of music activities to support students' learning goals and social development.
• You will develop and source resources for delivery, including making effective use of our state-of-the-art Immersive Learning Space.
• You will work collaboratively with the wider Creative Programmes Team to develop our creative offering.

• You have experience of providing training or music therapy to adults with learning disabilities or autistic adults.
• You would ideally be skilled in one or two instruments and be able to plan sessions that cover a range of different music genres.
• You're an excellent problem solver with a creative and exploratory approach.
• Most importantly, you're passionate about helping disabled people enjoy more autonomy and you understand how to make this happen.
