We are looking for someone excited about the potential to provide musical opportunities and raise aspirations for children and young people, particularly those who have limited musical experience. This role is to cover up to one year’s maternity leave from Summer term 2025.
Music Flood is a thriving partnership between 14 primary and secondary schools in the Radley/Abingdon area, involving thousands of children every year. Music Flood has one aim: to put music in every school, every day. With highly publicised inequalities in funding, training, confidence and provision for music in schools, our cross-sector partnership is a powerful tool to ensure every child benefits from an inspiring music education. The project is supported by Radley College, Abingdon Music Centre and Oxfordshire Music Education Partnership.
The ideal candidate will balance efficiency and reliability in organising events, with the ability to maintain a warm and welcoming relationship with our partner schools. Calmness under pressure and confidence in meeting new people are essential.
Whilst musical experience might be beneficial, it is not a pre-requisite for this role.
This opportunity comes at a particularly exciting time, with the new Music School opening at Radley College in the coming months, and a growing partnership with a local youth orchestra.
This role requires a certain amount of flexibility, which can be discussed at interview. We anticipate two half days (or one whole day) on site in Radley College, plus a small amount of remote working (up to 4 hours a week) to monitor correspondence and liaise with schools. This is a term-time only role, with reduced hours during state-school term time (where this is outside of Radley term time). Extra time will be required by arrangement for the first three weeks of September (the fortnight lead up to Music Flood week, and the week itself), and on notable days throughout the year where major events occur. These are planned many months in advance.
