Working closely with the Deputy Director (Music), you will take responsibility for the annual and ongoing timetabling of instrumental and vocal lessons for a large team of Visiting Music Staff, ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of this complex and dynamic area of school life. You will also provide high-quality administrative, financial and organisational support to staff, pupils and parents, acting as a key point of contact across the department.
