About Corby Technical School and the Role Corby Technical School is seeking an exceptional, experienced and inspiring Teacher of Music to join our thriving Performing Arts team. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate practitioner who is ready not only to deliver high-quality classroom teaching, but to play a pivotal role in shaping and leading a vibrant, ambitious enrichment programme. We are looking for a teacher who believes in the transformative power of music — someone who can ignite curiosity, nurture talent, and build a culture where music is celebrated across the school community. You will deliver an engaging and immersive Music curriculum that places performance, creativity and cultural diversity at its heart, while also taking a leading role in developing, expanding and sustaining a rich extra-curricular offer that extends far beyond the classroom.

The Music department is housed in its own purpose-built area with practice rooms, storage and well-equipped teaching spaces. We are fortunate to offer extensive resources including a full samba kit, a class set of West African drums and ukuleles, two drum kits, three electric pianos, a baby grand piano and a range of guitars.

We benefit from access to a team of technicians who support Performing Arts across our Trust secondary schools and can assist with both live and recorded performances, helping to bring ambitious productions and events to life. Supported by the Head of Performing Arts, you will be given the freedom, trust and encouragement to be creative and to innovate. You will be working with students who, within the context of a technical school, thrive on opportunities to express themselves and engage deeply with the arts. This role is particularly well suited to well established teacher who is eager
