Choir Leader (part-time): St Edmund’s Church, Roundhay
This is an exciting and rewarding post for someone to lead and develop our choir in this growing multigenerational parish church. We have a robed choir with a range of ages, experience and abilities, and we are keen to grow and develop our existing choir as well as encourage new and younger members. You do not need to have keyboard skills as we have a committed organist / pianist who supports choir rehearsals and services. This role involves directing our mixed-age choir, expanding our music repertoire, and collaborating closely with our talented organist / pianist, clergy, and musicians to enhance our worship through music. Experience in conducting and teaching choral techniques to amateur singers as well as knowledge of Anglican music, are therefore essential. We recognise that our choir leader will need regular Sunday rest and holidays, as well as time to worship themselves, so our current service pattern requires a working commitment of around 32 Sundays term-time only except for major festivals. You would be required to lead some evening services and Thursday evening choir practice for one hour during term time and for Festival or special services. A Genuine Occupational Requirement exists for the post-holder to be a Christian.
Annual salary in line with RSCM guidelines: £3608 per annum paid monthly.
For more details about the post or to apply contact Revd Michelle Lepine on vicar@stedmundsroundhay.org.uk
Closing date for applications is 28th May 2026 and interviews expected mid / end June 2026. Anticipated start date September 2026.
