Since 2005, Aurora Orchestra has established itself amongst the most creative and distinctive voices in classical music worldwide. As the pioneer of memorised orchestral performance, Aurora is redefining what an orchestra can do through its acclaimed 'Orchestral Theatre' productions. Resident in London at Southbank Centre and Kings Place, Aurora delivers over 100 performances each year, from symphonic projects for the BBC Proms and international festivals to storytelling concerts for young children and immersive performances in schools, shopping centres and nightclubs. Through its free Aurora Classroom programme the orchestra supports high-quality music education in schools throughout the UK, with subscribing teachers in more than two-thirds of local authorities nationally. The orchestra is in a strong position with a unique artistic offering, a robust financial model, and extensive national and international touring planned for 2026/27 and beyond. As John Harte steps down after 16 years, the board is seeking an inspirational Chief Executive to work alongside co-founders Jane Mitchell (Artistic Director) and Nicholas Collon (Principal Conductor).

Reporting to the board chaired by Dame Liz Forgan DBE, you will have overall responsibility for strategic planning, financial health and day-to-day operations. Working as creative executive producer with the artistic leadership, you will lead the staff team, develop new partnerships and touring opportunities, provide overall leadership of fundraising including a new Philanthropy Committee, and act as Aurora's ambassador across the arts and education sectors. You will bring the ability to build strong rapport with artists and act as an effective executive producing partner, with entrepreneurial instincts and appetite for risk. Essential experience includes financial direction and budget management, leading complex projects and teams, and a strong fundraising track record. Outstanding communication skills and a collaborative approach are vital. Orchestral knowledge would be advantageous, but we welcome candidates from non-orchestral backgrounds who demonstrate enthusiasm for Aurora's mission. Aurora Orchestra is working with Perrett Laver to recruit to this role. For further details please visit Perrett Laver's website.

Through our approach to professional development we can promise a successful candidate a positive and rewarding journey of growth. Through shared weekly and long-term planning, a large number of training days and access to the resources and opportunities in the Ark network, we are able to support our teachers to thrive. Find out more about the benefits of working for Ark at arkonline.org/careers/why-work-with-us/ About Us We are a genuine all-through school, with our pupils staying with us from nursery to sixth form across two sites, ten minutes-walk apart. Because of this, we have a unique opportunity to have a long term and dramatic impact on our pupils' lives. This all starts in our primary school, where our pupils develop, and grow a love of learning. We have a strong track-record as a school in making a significant impact on our pupils' lives. We adopt a mastery approach in primary, meaning that our pupils have more time and explicit teaching of the skills and concepts that underpin long term success in academics, enriched by a varied and cultural capital enhancing curriculum which inspires and engages our pupils. Our specialist teaching model allows pupils to benefit from expert teaching in PE, music, art, humanities and science and means all staff have time to plan each subject properly. In September 2019 we merged with Ark Paddington Green Academy and combined to form one all-through King Solomon Academy with Nursery-Year 4 on our Younger Years Site (Crompton Street) and Year 5 - Year 13 on the Older Years Site (Penfold Street). In May 2021, we opened a purpose-built nursery for 2-4 year olds. Our Younger Years Site has generous outdoor space, including a beautiful global food garden and a woodland garden where we run Forest School in EYFS and KS1. UKS2 pupils benefit from all the resources of sharing a site with secondary: a huge MUGA, basketball courts, science labs, specialist music equipment and so on.

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational teacher capable of delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning in a world-leading specialist music school. In September 2022, The Purcell School was the first specialist music school in the UK to open a commercial music department, which sits alongside the long-established and highly successful jazz department. In another exciting and forward-looking expansion of our provision, we have recently announced our intention to offer a new vocational pathway (RSL Diploma in Creative Music Industry) for students in the sixth form. It is within this context and to reflect the increasing need and demand for commercial and jazz classes in our timetable, that we are now looking to appoint a music teacher with a specialism in these areas. The successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of music history, analysis, composition and general musicianship programmes, largely in relation to this specialism. The Academic Music Department offers a unique programme of study, which forms an important part of every Purcell student's specialist musical education. Analysis and aural awareness are at the heart of everything we do and high-level training in these areas is a core component of the School's curriculum for every student. Purcell students achieve exceptional grades in Music and nearly all go on to study the subject at either conservatoire or university. In Years 7 to 9, students study a series of topics, which form the basis of creative and analytical projects, designed to expand their general musical knowledge and inform their practical instrumental studies. In year 10, students follow the AQA GCSE music syllabus and in Year 11, they prepare for Sixth Form study through an in-depth study of larger scale works. In the Sixth Form, students work towards the OCR A Level in Music and have lessons in analysis, music history, harmony and composition. Students who intend to apply to university to read Music are prepared for entrance examinations and interviews. Each year, a number of students go on to read Music at university, with recent school leavers taking up places at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and SOAS. At each stage of the School, we offer tailored pathways for students on classical performance, composition, jazz and commercial music programmes as part of our extensive musicianship provision. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will work closely with our first study commercial and jazz musicians in this context, whilst also taking on a varied timetable of Key Stage 3, GCSE Music, A Level Music and Diploma classes. Depending on expertise, experience and qualifications, there may also be opportunities to contribute to the delivery of performance classes and/or our music technology programmes. TERMS AND CONDITIONS This is a full time or 0.8 post to start on 1st September 2026. The salary will be based on the School's salary scale, according to the successful candidate's experience, with a contributory pension scheme.
