We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, experienced, and innovative Lead Teacher of Music to join an ambitious and successful Music team. Music is at the heart of our Greenwich School.

You will play an important role in passing on your subject knowledge through inspiring teaching to our students, ensuring that you can bring out the best in everyone.
