Are you a dynamic multi-instrumentalist with a passion for leading vibrant group music experiences? Drummers Link Music School in Northampton is growing, and we’re looking for a talented Band Performance Coach to ignite our all-new BandMates sessions and inspire musicians of all levels!

If you’re someone who thrives on turning enthusiasm into musical expression and loves preparing musicians for performances — from intimate in-house showcases to exciting ticketed events at local venues — this role could be perfect for you.

The Role

As our Band Performance Coach , you’ll facilitate 45-minute BandMates group sessions with up to eight students. You’ll guide young musicians in developing tight live arrangements, listening and playing as a unit, and preparing for exciting performances. Sessions take place at our Northampton studio, where your energy, musicianship, and leadership will help students grow in confidence and musicality.

While our curriculum and support materials give you a strong foundation, we’re looking for someone who can bring sessions to life with great energy, musical direction, and a knack for making every rehearsal fun, focused, and rewarding.

Who We’re Looking For

Strong teaching or facilitation background, ideally with youth or group ensembles.
Skilled in at least two of the following : guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, vocals.
Some experience in live sound engineering, setting up simple band mixes for rehearsal settings.
Confident to demonstrate and support all core band instruments at a basic level.
Comfortable leading small groups and adapting arrangements to different abilities.
Great communicator with natural charisma and motivational presence.
Recent Enhanced DBS check (within last 3 years)
Full UK driving licence and access to transport.
Public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
Highly organised and committed to providing a high standard of sessions.
Live within a 30-minute commute of Northampton.
Right to live and work in the UK.
Experience running youth bands, school ensembles, or performance groups.
Background in event or performance preparation.
Familiarity with pop, rock, funk, and other contemporary genres.
Experience teaching a range of ages (especially 7–16).
Degree or training in music or music education.

Why Join Drummers Link?

We’re a fast-growing, creative music school with a mission to make performance accessible and exciting for all students. Our BandMates programme is a huge part of that vision. As our Band Performance Coach , you’ll play a central role in shaping confident performers who learn the value of teamwork, creativity, and stage presence. We’ll support you with a clear session structure and resources, while giving you the freedom to bring your own musical spark.
