Returning Tutors
If you have previously worked with B:Music, you do not need to submit a CV or covering letter.
Instead, complete the Expression of Interest JotForm, indicating whether you wish to be considered for a Lead Tutor role, a Support Tutor role, or both.
Following submission of the JotForm, shortlisted applicants will be invited to interview.
Availability and Session Allocation
As part of the application process, tutors will be asked to indicate all ensemble dates they are available to deliver across the academic year.
Applicants should:
- Provide all dates they are available to work
- Keep those dates free in their diary until the recruitment process is complete
Following interviews and final shortlisting, successful applicants will receive confirmation of the specific sessions they have been allocated by Wednesday 15 July at the latest. At that stage, any dates not allocated can be released from personal diaries.
This approach has been designed to create greater clarity and consistency for tutors, while strengthening our ability to secure staffing across the programme.
Please note that Support Tutor allocations may be less consistent throughout the year than Lead Tutor allocations, as Support Tutor requirements are often determined by ensemble needs, student numbers and session-specific requirements.
Commitment to the Programme & Dates
To provide continuity and stability for participants, we ask that tutors only apply if they are able to commit to the dates they make available and intend to fulfil any sessions allocated to them
Gospel: 12:45pm - 3pm
Jazz: 3:15pm - 5:30pm
