- Passion: The ability to inspire students of all abilities, from those picking up an instrument for the first time to advanced musicians.
- Reliability: As this is a fixed‑term contract, we need someone committed to providing stability for the students throughout the duration of the role.
- Compliance: Enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service.
