Music Teacher

Do you have a passion for music, and want to share your knowledge with others?

Are you looking for a music teaching role that allows you to be creative?

Are you an NQT looking for your first teaching role?

Moving from a permanent music teacher role is always frightening, but teaching in a school that allows agency enables job satisfaction. You will have an opportunity to put your creativeness and musical ear to the test where you will help create school plays and workshops. If you're feeling undervalued, and not getting the opportunities to share your passion then this role will suit you! Alternatively, this would be a perfect first role for an NQT as you will be surrounded by a supportive department. These temporary music teacher roles will commence on the 5th January 2026 and will continue until the end of the 2025/26 academic year. You will be expected to teach students to play an instrument and to read and understand music.

"Academics have been a fantastic supply agency. I joined them as soon as I finished my PGCE and they found me a long-term supply placement immediately. They were very easy to contact and lovely to speak to, especially Luke and Dan who I mainly dealt with. I also referred a friend and got a voucher which I would highly recommend doing!"
