Youth Music Initiative creates access to high-quality music making opportunities for young people across City of Edinburgh Council primary schools and special schools. Fully funded by Creative Scotland, Edinburgh’s Youth Music Initiative programme helps develop Creative Learning providing support to schools and establishments across the city.

This is an exciting opportunity for tutors to deliver Youth Music Initiative’s creative musical provisions to learners of all ages in Primary Schools.

Successful applicants should have a sound understanding of group music teaching and knowledge of the current curriculum, delivering vocal and ukulele tuition to pupils with a commitment to inclusion. Successful candidates will demonstrate initiative, ability to work independently and as part of a team and be dedicated to their own personal development.

Successful candidates will work in schools four mornings per week, with a further morning working from home for planning and preparation. In school you will teach full classes of children across a range of year groups, supported by the class teacher. You will work in a selection of schools across the city and may be responsible for moving instruments between schools where required. Please note, these posts are term time only.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check.  Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours – The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
