Shireland CBSO Academy is an 11-18 Academy which opened in September 2023. It is the first state school in the country to have a partnership with a professional orchestra. Based in Providence Place, West Bromwich, the Academy will work in partnership with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and serve all of Sandwell and the wider West Midlands. The Academy is for all students who have a passion or talent for music – they do not necessarily need to already play an instrument.
Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust is an established Multi-Academy Trust of primary and secondary academies across the West Midlands. Our reputation is built on our core values of innovation, collaboration and inspiring individuals within our care. We want every single person that comes through the doors of one of our academies to leave having grown as an individual, in terms of their skill set and their respect for others.
We believe that every person who passes through our doors deserves the very best that we can offer. Everyone who works with and for the Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust does so because they believe in children and want their futures to be happy and successful.

We can offer:

• Opportunities across our MAT to enhance skills and experience
• Excellent career development opportunities
• Exceptional CPD provision
• a supportive working environment and team ethos
• friendly, enthusiastic children.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing and setting up materials, tools, and equipment for practical lessons (e.g., paints, clay, textiles, printing tools).

• Managing audio-visual and recording equipment for lessons and school performances.
• Supporting staff and students with music technology software (e.g., GarageBand, Logic Pro, Sibelius).

We pride ourselves on being an employer of choice where all staff can thrive. We believe that supporting our staff both personally and professionally allows them to give their very best to our students. Our aim is to foster a working culture that recognises and reflects the importance of good mental health and wellbeing and provides effective support when colleagues need it.
Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects its entire staff to share this commitment.
