About The Role
At iRock School of Music, we’re on a mission to transform the way children experience music education. Through high‑energy, band‑based sessions in primary schools across the UK, we give thousands of children each week the chance to play, perform, and feel part of something bigger. But what truly sets us apart is our people. Our team of passionate musicians and educators don’t just teach, they inspire confidence, nurture creativity, and create unforgettable moments for every child they work with.
We’re looking for an experienced and people‑focused Customer Experience Team Leader to lead our customer support function at iRock School of Music. This role offers the opportunity to oversee and develop a small team while helping shape the overall customer journey across the organisation, with a focus on service quality, operational efficiency, and meaningful customer relationships.
This is a leadership role, but also a hands‑on one. You’ll be expected to support the day‑to‑day operation of the department, handle escalated queries where needed, and lead by example while developing a high‑performing and supportive team culture. If you enjoy combining leadership with customer interaction and want to play a key role in a growing organisation, this could be a strong fit.
If you’re looking for a role where your love of music meets real purpose, where no two days are the same, and where you can make a lasting impact while doing what you love, iRock could be the perfect stage for you.
