Junior Trinity Cello Teacher Maternity Cover

Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance is a forward thinking, contemporary and world-class Higher Education Institution with a vision to redefine the conservatoire for the 21st century. At the leading edge of music and dance training, it provides specialist education of the highest quality, which reflects the increasingly collaborative world of artistic practice and supports the lifelong career development of students and professional performing artists.

We were the first Junior Department of a UK Conservatoire to open its doors to school children on Saturdays in 1906. Since then, thousands of young people have benefited from the opportunities to make music as individuals and in a wide variety of small and large ensembles. From 3-year-olds through to university and conservatoire entrance, our aim is to encourage a lifelong passion for music and to give our students the opportunities to develop to their maximum potential.

Successful candidates will be responsible for teaching individual students as well as coaching ensembles for Junior Trinity performances and regular prestigious external projects at venues including The Queen Elizabeth Hall, LSO St Luke’s and Blackheath Halls.

We expect to be able to offer a minimum of 3 hours teaching per week on Saturdays, for 30 weeks per year. Some posts involve up to 8 hours teaching per week, depending on student numbers, scheduling and timetable considerations for the academic year 2025/26.

All Trinity Laban hourly rates of pay are based on role evaluation and are inclusive of holiday pay. Hours of work will be dependent on the needs of the Conservatoire and student numbers.

Please note: These posts involve working with children and young people therefore all appointments will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check.

As an equal opportunities employer, we positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity.
