About The Opportunity
Redmaids’ High School is currently seeking a talented self-employed oboe teacher to work as a visiting teacher in both its Senior and Junior School music departments. We would ideally like to engage one teacher to teach across both sites.
About The School
Occupying a spacious, green and open site near to Bristol city centre, Redmaids’ High School is the oldest girls’ school in Britain with a history that dates back to 1634. Formed out of a merger between the Red Maids’ School and Redland High School in 2016, we are one of the leading independent day schools in the UK. We offer an exceptional educational experience for girls and young women from 7 to 18 years, focused on aspiration, inclusivity, happiness and support for others. This has earned us year on year placement in the top schools’ rankings for our GCSE and A level results. A true all-through school, there is an incredibly close link between Junior and Senior Schools, with the vast majority of junior students (90%+) moving into Year 7 each year.
A proud member of the Girls' Day School Trust, the leading family of girls’ schools in the UK, we share a common ethos and commitment to fearless, girls’-first education, supporting staff and students alike through collaboration and empowerment across the network. We are fortunate to have superb facilities across our interlinked Junior and Senior School sites. Our dedicated Sixth Form Centre provides first-rate quiet study and recreation space, while the main hall provides an outstanding venue for productions and concerts. We are equally proud of our sporting facilities including ‘The Lawns’, our specialist sports site for hockey, netball, cricket, tennis and athletics, which underpins our teams’ regular sporting successes at regional and national level.
Redmaids’ High is an inclusive environment, and we continue to take steps to enhance and improve our diversity and equality of opportunities. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

About The Role
Visiting Music Teachers at the school are self-employed, with teachers being responsible for their own invoicing and timetabling, although the school does use SOCs software to facilitate timetabling and monitor attendance. Lessons take place during the school day (from 8am-6pm) with a 40 minute duration i n the Senior School and a 30 minute duration in the Junior School. Teachers are asked to create a rotating timetable to ensure that students do not miss the same academic lesson too many times within a given term.
There is currently 1 oboe student in the Senior School and none currently in the Junior School, but very much hope to see this build. The school also has a “minority instrument” scheme, which pays for the first five lessons on specific instruments, including oboe.
Our Visiting Music Teachers are a vital part of our music department. They are very important members of the school community and we highly value the contribution they make to the school and its students. We are looking forward to welcoming another enthusiastic and dynamic teacher to our team who we hope will enjoy being part of a thriving (and fun!) music department.
Interviews will be the week commencing Monday 2 November 2026
The GDST are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to u ndergo child protection checks appropriate to the post, including online searches, and checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified individuals. To be eligible for employment, candidates must provide proof of their right to work in the UK
