At Trinity School, we are committed to providing exceptional opportunities for our students to develop and showcase their musical talents. To support this, we maintain a dedicated team of casual chaperones who supervise and support pupils participating in a wide range of music-related activities and performances.
We are seeking to expand our pool of Music Chaperones to meet the growing needs of the Trinity Choirs and Music Department. Assignments may include concerts, tours, recordings, competitions, rehearsals and other events, both on and off site. Working on a casual basis, hours will vary according to the needs of the department and may include evenings, weekends and occasional overnight trips. Chaperones play a vital role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children in their care. They act as advocates for pupils, ensuring their safety, wellbeing and participation while providing fair, equitable and inclusive support at all times.
The successful candidate will be a professional and reliable individual with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Applicants must hold a valid Chaperone Licence, together with a current Enhanced DBS certificate with Children's Barred List check. Previous experience of working with children and young people in a performance, educational or similar setting would be advantageous. This is an exciting opportunity to support talented young musicians and contribute to a vibrant and ambitious music programme.
We are a diverse community at Trinity and strongly encourage applications from teaching and operational staff from a range of backgrounds. To enable us to make any reasonable adjustments, please let us know when you submit your application whether you have any special requirements.
