About This Role
We require an enthusiastic, engaging and well-qualified Choral Director to join our Music team from September 2026 to lead the Chapel Choir and Chamber Choir.
We are looking for a musician who can share their expertise and love of choral music, focusing both on high-level performance and participation in this high-profile aspect of the school. The Chapel Choir performs weekly at College Eucharist as well as at major school events, such as Remembrance and the Leavers’ Service. Whilst this is a stand-alone position, it could also be combined with a part-time teaching role, teaching either academic music or another subject offered at King’s.
King’s College is an exciting, forward-looking and rewarding school to work in. We support all staff to develop their skills, providing frequent access to high quality professional development, utilising the skills and experience of colleagues through our peer-coaching programme and tailoring professional development to each individual and their aspirations. We believe that investing in the development our staff is a key element in ensuring excellent learning and pastoral care.
We are keen to embrace new ideas and technologies to ensure that teachers at King’s are at the forefront of teaching and learning innovation, and are rightly proud of the quality of pedagogy witnessed daily around the school. Newly qualified teachers will be supported in completing their ECT years at King’s by the Head of Staff Induction, who has vast experience in guiding and training ECTs.
For further details please contact the HR department on 01823 328231 /328190 or email recruitment@kings-taunton.co.uk.
Closing Date: 9.00am Monday 20 April 2026
Interviews will be held later in the same week or in the week beginning Monday 27 April
