The Role

A progressive Secondary School in Bournemouth is seeking a professional, technologically minded, and highly organised Music Technology & Performing Arts Teacher to join their expanding creative arts team. This position is a fantastic opportunity for an educator who excels at teaching digital composition, audio engineering, and live sound production, working within a department equipped with recording studios, mixing suites, and modern midi labs.

The successful candidate will deliver a dynamic and challenging timetable across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, preparing students for exceptional outcomes in sound design, multi-track recording, synthesis, and acoustic analysis up to A-Level and Vocational Level 3 specifications. Beyond classroom teaching, you will be expected to construct precise student progress tracking logs, manage software license parameters across the department's recording networks, maintain hardware assets, and actively lead the school’s technical theatre crews, sound engineering clubs, and live production showcases.

Strong communication, data literacy, and a collaborative spirit are important to thriving within this highly driven technical team.
