Crescendo Peripatetic Tutor

The Ulster Orchestra, along with their partners Colin Neighbourhood Partnership, Greater Shankill Partnership and Queen’s University Innovation Zones, are seeking experienced and qualified music tutors to be part of our flagship Crescendo Project. The partners’ vision is to improve outcomes for children through music.

The project aims to increase the resilience, aspirations and emotional development of children from areas of social and economic disadvantage through a programme of music skills development, to increase participants’ musical skills while contributing to their improved wellbeing and self-worth.

Situated in four schools in north and west Belfast, the project aims to deliver weekly workshops with P1-P3 classes to develop fundamental music skills and progress to learning orchestral instruments from P4-P7.

We are currently recruiting tutors in the following instruments:

• Upper strings
• Flute
• Brass

There will be a range of hours available to suit the needs of the project, from approximately 3 hours to 10 hours a week. Further information is available on our website.

The closing date for applications is midday on Monday 8 June 2026. Interviews will take place during the week commencing Monday 15 June.

Ideally, the successful candidates will be available to attend a meeting in early September 2026 with a view to commencing late September 2026.

The UO is committed to building an organisation that is truly diverse and inclusive.  We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates, irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Within this context we particularly encourage applications from people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, Black, Asian and other global majority backgrounds, and those from backgrounds of social and economic deprivation.
