Vacancy: Girton College
DIRECTOR OF CHAPEL MUSIC AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COLLEGE MUSIC
Girton College wishes to appoint a Director of Chapel Music and Assistant
Director of College Music from 15 September 2008, or as soon as possible
thereafter, until September 2011, during which period the Director of Music
will serve as Chairman of the Faculty of Music.
The main duties of the post include directing the College choir in Chapel
services and concerts in Cambridge, organising and taking the leading role
in the choir's regular tours and, where appropriate, organising and
directing choir recordings. The appointee will be expected to work closely
with the Director of College Music. The role will suit an experienced
musician who is also an animateur and a capable administrator.
Viewed across the year as a whole, the post will be approximately half-time. The exact hours will fluctuate greatly, depending on the amount of musical activity in college at any one point, but it is expected that the commitment during term will be substantially greater than during the vacation.
The appointment will be subject to a one-year probationary period. The present stipend is £21,477 - £23,883 per annum pro rata with the commencement point depending on qualifications and experience.
Further details and application forms can be obtained by contacting the Personnel Officer, Girton College, Cambridge, CB3 0JG (Tel: +44-(0)-1223 339244, Fax: +44-(0)-1223 338896 or by email: personnel@girton.cam.ac.uk.
The closing date for applications is noon on 3 June 2008.
Interviews and auditions, if required, will take place on 18 June 2008.
