We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Teacher of Oboe to join our busy music department at Bedford Modern School.

The successful candidate will have previous teaching experience and will have the ability to engage and inspire the pupils whom they teach.

The working hours are on an as-advised basis, depending on the demand for tuition in this instrument. While we can offer some flexibility around scheduling based on candidate availability, we would ask that teaching takes place on the same day each week to ensure consistency for pupils and staff. There may also be opportunities to get involved in our extensive co-curricular music programme.
