Job Description
Wellington College is one of the UK's — and indeed the world's — great coeducational boarding and day schools, set in 400 acres of beautiful parkland.
Home to modern state-of-the-art facilities to provide the best possible educational environment for our pupils, the Music Department is at the heart of school life and consist of a number of buildings with recital/rehearsal halls and some twenty practice/teaching studios. With nearly 700 instrumental lessons a week from a team of 50 specialist visiting music teachers, every student is given the opportunity to realise their musical potential.
We anticipate the need for up to one days' teaching commencing September 2026 and are therefore inviting applications from experienced and dynamic self-employed violin teachers for whom this might be an exciting portfolio addition.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate a knowledge of varied and interesting repertoire and hold a diploma in violin performance and a degree at University or Conservatoire level. A knowledge of exam syllabi and proven teaching to advanced level is essential as well as a significant performance profile.
