Requirements
Availability: Musicians must be able to cover short‑term and long‑term assignments Monday‑Friday during term time from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm. Flexibility to accept assignments on short notice (informed by 7.30 am or the afternoon before, whenever possible) and to pre‑book cover dates is essential.
