Job Overview

Do You Remember The First Time?

The best guitar bands make playing in front of thousands of adoring fans look easy, but like everyone, they'll have needed plenty of help, patience, and perseverance the first time they tried to strum along to their favourite song.

As a passionate and experienced musician, you will understand the time and dedication it takes for a guitarist to hone their craft. You will also appreciate the joy and fulfilment that music brings to people's lives.

Seeing the smiles on children's faces when they get a song right for the first time, and watching as your students impress their parents with music you've worked on together are all part of becoming a guitar teacher for Create Music.

Rate: £21.40 per hour
Schedule: Monday to Friday | Mostly 9am–3pm
Location: Schools in Worthing and surrounding areas
Contract Type: Freelance (self-employed)

Please note that a DBS check is required for this role, so it is essential you have the necessary documents to carry this out readily available (or are willing to obtain them promptly), as any delay may impact your start date.
