NB 1) Churches needing an organist are urged most strongly to advertise in the Church Times and/or Church Music Quarterly. This is the best way to reach church musicians. 2) Please tell us when your post has been filled so we can remove its particulars. 3) Suggested salary scales can be found here. 4) RSCM Affiliates can request a copy of the latest salary scales. 5) Churches are urged to read the main RSCM website's recommendations on paying church musicians, and to 6) give their organists a contract (published by the ISM, and available for a small fee). (See also side panel.)

Organist Publications is a helpful site with free downloads of editable contracts and accompanying notes. A possible contract is available here (pdf). If you would like a non-pdf version to edit yourself, please email us.

Examples of organists' contracts and conditions from other bodies:
1) The Church of Scotland
2) The Scottish Federation of Organists
