Career stage: Mid-Level
This is an opportunity to join Sistema Scotland as part of a dynamic team, delivering a visionary, socially driven music programme. You will work closely with the Director of Music and other Curriculum Leaders to promote best practice in the delivery and development of the Big Noise General Musicianship curriculum, alongside supporting the delivery of general musicianship sessions in each of our Big Noise centres. The teams in each of our Big Noise centres work with children from pre-school, primary school, secondary school and adults. The teams are creative in designing and introducing new ways of learning as we use the orchestra to grow children’s confidence, respect, aspiration, drive and understanding.
You will have experience and success in taking on leadership roles and responsibilities, including providing feedback to musicians/teachers. You will also be educated to degree level or equivalent qualification and have professional performing experience. Working with large and varied groups of children and young people is essential, along with a track record of success in delivering innovative classroom musicianship sessions. You will also have a belief in the benefits that a social programme such as Big Noise / Sistema Scotland can have. You will have experience of positive engagement in the creation and development of curriculum for children and be up to date with current educational practice as well as knowledge of current issues regarding music, community development and/or education in Scotland. You will also have a working knowledge of appropriate pedagogic approaches relevant to your area of expertise.
This is a temporary post (maternity cover until approximately March 2026), working across all our Big Noise centres in Scotland (Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen). The post is for 2 days a week (14 hours a week) all year round; Wednesday morning and 11.5 hours a week on days/times to be arranged with the Director of Music & Curriculum.
