Director of Music

We are seeking a talented musician, ideally an organist with RCO diploma standard or equivalent, to become our Director of Music at St Oswald’s Church, Ashbourne. Someone who is keen to help us develop our already strong music offering by growing our existing choir, developing a Children’s Choir and potentially starting a Community Choir. 

Our dream candidate would be someone willing to work collaboratively with our priest-in-charge to grow and develop our music offering, not just at church but also in the community. 

The role would suit a positive, energetic, and creative person with a sound musical background. It would also be desirable if they have experience in leading and encouraging children and young people to take an active part in our church music. 

For more information about this is an exciting and rewarding post, please see below for the full application pack (available in PDF or Word format). For an informal conversation, feel free to contact the Rev’d Dwayne Engh:

Closing date for applications: 8th May 2026.
