🎵 Now Hiring: Programmes Maestro! 

🎵 Do you believe in the power of music to transform young lives? Can you keep a dozen plates spinning and still whistle a tune? We’re on the lookout for a brilliant Schools Programme Manager to orchestrate the smooth running of our school music activities across Yorkshire and the North East. 

This is no ordinary desk job - you’ll be part conductor, part problem-solver, part people-whisperer. If you thrive on variety, love building partnerships, and want to see young people light up through music, then step into the spotlight! 

What you’ll be doing (your set list): 

  • Leading the delivery of our Schools Music Programme and events across multiple schools and regions.
  • Managing our delivery partners with the poise of a true collaborator.
  • Striking up brilliant relationships with schools and stakeholders.
  • Keeping the programme in tune - monitoring performance, reporting outcomes, and ensuring safeguarding is top priority.
  • Overseeing contracts and compliance like a seasoned stage manager. Who you are (your greatest hits):
  • Experienced in running educational or arts programmes, including staff and contract management.
  • A natural organiser and communicator who can lead with confidence.
  • Comfortable juggling budgets, schedules, and a to-do list longer than a symphony.
  • Passionate about music education and the difference it makes for young people. 

     

Encore (why join us?): 

  • Be part of a team that genuinely changes lives through music.
  • Work in a role where no two days are the same.
  • Bring your leadership skills to a programme that’s growing, ambitious, and full of heart.
     

If this sounds like music to your ears, we’d love to hear from you.
