Advert: freelance organist required

St Augustine’s, Tooting, South London is seeking to engage a freelance organist to play for our 11am Sunday Eucharist (plus festivals throughout the year and funerals).

We are praying for a pioneer musician who will love, learn and grow with a Church that is loving, learning and growing!

  • £85 per session (£125 for funerals)
  • 3 month initial contract
  • Closing date 30th September with interview at date to be agreed in October
  • Beginner organists & pianists welcome to apply
  • Sundays, major weekday festivals (Corpus Christi, Ascension, Holy Week etc) and funerals

We seek an organist to play the Mass setting, usually 4 hymns and a Psalm.

The opportunity would particularly suit an organist or director of music at the beginning of their career.

We are a Black-majority, inclusive congregation, and we are conscious that people of Global Majority Heritage/United Kingdom Minority Ethnic (GMH/UKME) backgrounds are currently under-represented among organists. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who would help to increase that representation.
