Music for Autism project vacancy – Orchestra of St John's | Taking classical music out into the community

Music for Autism project vacancy

Music for Autism project vacancy

Orchestra of St John’s is a professional Oxfordshire-based chamber orchestra that provides the highest quality music for the community – through our Music for autism concerts at SEN schools, our projects with refugees and disadvantaged children, and our concert series in Oxford and Dorchester.

In 2021 we began an assessment of our Music for Autism programme of visits to SEN schools  https://www.osj.org.uk/osj-music-for-autism/, and with the help of two recent postgraduates have assembled various resources for teachers https://www.osj.org.uk/resources-for-schools/

The next stage is to try out some of the ideas in practice. We need someone who is available during the day to come along on monthly visits in term time to four schools in Oxfordshire (you can see a calendar on https://www.osj.org.uk/resources-for-schools/) and actually work with the children alongside John Lubbock and the players. And to bring their own new ideas. So this role is hands-on and you need to be comfortable working with children in an SEN school.

We offer a competitive hourly rate.
