The Marist School is seeking an inspiring and enthusiastic Music Graduate to join our highly regarded Music Department. Music plays a significant role in the life of The Marist and this post is highly varied as it caters to both the Prep and Senior phases of the School. The role would suit a Music graduate interested in gaining experience in music education and arts administration, offering as it does a valuable stepping stone for those considering a career in teaching or the wider arts sector.

This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate musician who is committed to nurturing creativity, confidence, and musical excellence in girls aged 3- to 18-years-old. The successful candidate will be an all-round musician, who enjoys working with pupils of all abilities. As the Residential Music Graduate, you will support the delivery of classroom music, assist with rehearsals and ensembles, and play an active role in the school’s extensive co‑curricular programme. You will help prepare for, and perhaps perform in, concerts, productions, and musical events, working closely with the Director of Music. The role also includes opportunities to lead small groups, contribute creative ideas, and inspire pupils across a range of ages and abilities.

We are looking for someone who brings energy, initiative, and a genuine love of music. Strong practical skills, whether instrumental, vocal, or both, are essential along with a willingness to get involved in all aspects of school life. Practical experience of music technology and production, as well as creative social media skills, would also be desirable. Additionally, you will provide support to the residential team to deliver pastoral care and activities for the flexi-boarders.

The Marist School employs around 120 members of staff, and we are proud to be a diverse community that fosters a family spirit. The School is a leading independent Catholic day school for girls aged 2 to 18 and boys aged 2 to 7.  We have a values-led culture within a calm setting rooted in kindness, service, and a strong moral code, through which we deliver exceptional academic fire power.

At The Marist, our girls reach for the stars, but with their feet firmly on the ground. Rooted in humility and quiet confidence, pupils are supported by high-calibre staff who provide academic challenge, develop each girl’s unique strengths, and prepare them to be anything they choose – trailblazers, changemakers, and good citizens.
