PERIPATETIC Piano and Voice TEACHER

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are currently seeking to appoint a passionate and skilled Piano and Voice teacher. Situated in the scenic Crans-Montana, our international boarding and day school has a thriving music department that's constantly growing.

The ideal candidate will be a talented musician and pedagogue who can deliver lessons in English. Fluency in French would be advantageous. We value individuals who exhibit a collaborative spirit, take initiative, and serve as positive role models for our students.
The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to teach Piano and Voice across a broad range of levels, from G2 to IB2 (7 to 18 years old) . Experience teaching various vocal styles and preparing students for examination boards (ABRSM/Trinity, etc) is highly desirable.
LE RÉGENT
Founded in 2015, Le Régent is a rapidly developing Swiss boarding and day school with an international academic programme. Over 270 students from Switzerland and around the world are educated in a modern campus in the heart of the Valais Alps in the attractive and lively ski resort of Crans-Montana. Le Régent has been under the guidance of Institut Le Rosey (www.rosey.ch) since August 2019.
Le Régent follows a rigorous academic programme in English in preparation for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and for its own diploma, the Régent Graduation Diploma, while nurturing the individual talents of each student with its diverse extracurricular offering, including sports, arts, music and mountain activities.
Junior and secondary students follow the IPC and an adapted version of the UK curriculum and Pre-IB leading in some cases to IGCSEs and then the IB Diploma, where the school offers the Language and Literature course at both standard and higher level. The future introduction of the A Literature course is also a possibility. Teaching allocations are shared across the department and we would hope to appoint a candidate able to teach at all secondary levels.
Academic standards are high, class sizes are small and the international student and teaching body ensures an interesting and stimulating classroom and school atmosphere. The school’s exceptional location and outdoor education programme and the chance to ski during the winter season are important attractions for both students and staff.
As a boarding school that welcomes day students, the successful candidate will have the positive outlook required to actively be part of a vibrant boarding community and provide a positive presence in the school. In particular, the candidate will have the drive to foster a love of learning allied with high academic standards.
RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES
We reserve the right to appoint the right candidate ahead of the closing date. Appointment to take effect from the 23 of August 2024.
Applications should be through the TES website.
Le Régent is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants will therefore need to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post.
WORK PERMITS

Obtaining work permits for third-country nationals is a complex and unpredictable procedure. As a result, we give priority to candidates with a Swiss, EU or EFTA passport. In this instance, since the number of teaching periods is variable, a work permit for EU/EFTA citizens can not be granted and we must appoint a Swiss citizen or a Swiss resident.
