We are seeking to appoint a genuinely inspirational and aspirational person to be our new Head of Music. The School’s musical heritage and links with St James’ Church in Louth continues to be a crucial part of our identity. Our aim is to foster a culture of inclusivity and ‘music for all’ but with a mindfulness for realising the potential of our most gifted pupil musicians: we want music at KEVIGS to be elite but not elitist.
The successful candidate is likely to be a genuinely outstanding individual with exceptional credentials as a musician. They are likely to have experience of high-level music-making, will offer leadership/management experience, will be at-ease with our choral tradition but able to offer a whole lot more, and will have the energy and vision to be a role model for pupils and staff.
A sensitivity and regard for the traditions and past achievements of the Department will need to be combined with the vision to embrace new ideas, new technology and inspire the confidence of colleagues, pupils and parents in pursuing them. An appreciation of the choral tradition is important.
We are looking for someone to lead a department which is integral to the School, and which will offer vibrancy, excitement and opportunity for all. Above all we are looking for an engaging and enthusiastic person who has high standards and an exciting vision, who works hard, who is a good team player, and who is kind and fun.
