The charity is currently the leader in its field – a unique charity in the UK and probably in the world – and seeks to retain this position.

You will provide support to the Artistic Director, liaising with and supporting the team to update resources and create a sustainable income stream through client and project management as well as researching and seeking funding opportunities for the charity.

If you have a real interest in the arts and for music, have a strong music education background to degree level or equivalent and a teaching qualification and experience, an up to date clean enhanced DBS check, a creative self-starter with a ‘can do’ attitude who can get results, with a good sense of humour, excellent social skills and the ability to see the potential in MatD and unleash it, then they would like to hear from you.
