    Assistant Director: Accommodation - England, United Kingdom - Magdalen College School

    Default job background
    Description
    The Music Department is a thriving department with a wealth of talented musicians and an exciting musical programme.

    The Director of Music leads a team consisting of an Assistant Director of Music, a Head of Instrumental Music, two Teachers of Music (one with a particular Junior School focus), a part-time accompanist, a full-time administrator, a Waynflete Academic and around 42 visiting instrumental teachers.

    There is a close connection between the Junior School and Senior School in the Music Department and there are many opportunities for pupils from both areas to collaborate for projects.

    The school is seeking to appoint a bright, capable Assistant Director of Music from September 2024 or January 2025.

    The Assistant Director of Music will support the Director of Music in delivering Music throughout the Senior School both within the classroom as well as in the extensive co-curricular music provision.

    They will teach class music lessons from Year 7 to Upper Sixth (including Oxbridge preparation) and oversee the development of the curriculum in the Lower and Middle School.

    The standard of music throughout the school is extremely high and this post is a wonderful opportunity for the successful candidate to work with some very talented musicians.

    The Assistant Director will play a full role in the Music Department's extensive co-curricular programme and will have the opportunity to lead a range of orchestras, ensembles and choirs.

    They will also oversee the chamber music programme, including the yearly Grove Auditorium Concert as well as chamber concerts throughout the year.

    The Assistant will also be fully involved in assisting with the running and organisation of the major concerts during the year, including the Music at Magdalen Concerts in SJE, as well as the Carol Services in Magdalen College Chapel and the Sheldonian Concerts.

    The Assistant will also be involved in the music scholarship auditions and will oversee the music scholars during their time at the school, creating opportunities for them and overseeing their development.

    The role is likely to be most suited to an experienced teacher, with conducting experience but may also be suitable for someone who has been in a related career and is an Early Career Teacher (ECT) or currently without a teaching qualification and looking to pursue the School's Waynflete Teaching Certificate, which can lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

    show clear commitment to safeguarding children;
    be a well-qualified graduate of Music or a related discipline;
    support the Director of Music in managing the network of opportunities for every pupil instrumentalist in ensembles;
    take a full role in leading and conducting orchestras, ensembles, choirs and performances across the School;
    oversee the Music Scholars and the Chamber Concert Series;
    arrange music as necessary
    organise the hiring or purchasing of music for ensembles they organise
    plan and teach class lessons in an engaging manner in a highly successful Music department across year groups from Year 7 to A Level;
    support the progress of all pupils studying Music by taking a role in departmental support and enrichment sessions;
    assist with the development of partnership projects with local schools;
    set clear expectations for pupil behaviour within an encouraging classroom environment;
    take a keen interest in the welfare of pupils and act as the pastoral tutor to a senior school houseroom;
    be willing to contribute fully to other areas of school life, such as games, drama, CCF or other activities;
    The Assistant Director of Music will report to the Director of Music, and ultimately to the Master.
