Claremont Singers: Musical Director, Choir Leader and Accompanist, Claremont Project

Covering a wide-ranging repertoire of classic songs, jazz standards and modern pop songs from throughout the decades, the successful candidate will lead the group through inspiring, engaging and accessible weekly sessions in our fully accessible New Hall.

Making use of our upright piano for your concert standard accompaniment, you will advocate for the joy of choral singing, vocal health and technique, and manageable yet challenging harmony work. You will prepare the group for staple performances in our annual Claremont Class Variety Showcase. There may also be opportunities for external performances.

Warm, welcoming, and encouraging, you will be experienced and adept at working with often under-served community groups with varying needs, always advocating for equality, diversity, and inclusion. Experience of working with vulnerable adults would also be beneficial. We endeavour to be as inclusive and accessible as possible across age, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic status.

You will inspire confidence, bringing forth positivity and togetherness from the group. Your flexible teaching style should allow you to accommodate all levels of ability and experience.

This role is offered in a freelance capacity at a starting rate of £40 - £50 per hour via an annual but rolling agreement. This fee may be slightly flexible for the right candidate, dependent upon skills and experience.

Claremont Singers sessions have been delivered on Tuesdays, in-person at our centre in Angel, Islington, from 12:15 - 1:45pm. We can offer some flexibility with the agreed day and time for the right candidate, subject to our hall availability between 10:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday - Friday.

Due to the nature of our work, we are required to conduct an advanced DBS check. Our freelance Tutors must also hold their own suitable insurance to cover their work with our members and familiarise themselves with our policies.
