Job Summary

Our new Community & Operations Lead will be responsible for the operational management and growth of Seed Studios activity including our volunteer-led music workshops and our socially-prescribed one-to-one music tuition service, and be a visible and approachable presence within the Seed community

Job Description

An exciting opportunity has come up to oversee the operational management and delivery of our burgeoning volunteer-led music and mental health charity. We are looking for a new Community & Operations Lead who has a track record of working holistically and empathetically in line with best practice to effectively manage and grow our services at an operational level; support the ongoing safe recruitment and retention of volunteers through our volunteer pathway; build and support community engagement; manage our two studio sites; and design, develop and manage exciting projects informed by our community members’ vision in collaboration with the Strategy & Fundraising Lead. Our new Community & Operations Lead will be a calm and reassuring presence with a track record of facilitating positive working relationships, co-productive and person-centred approaches, and intersectional working in order to support our work addressing local health inequalities and reducing the health, social and financial barriers to creativity and support that local people face.

Our new Community & Operations Lead will be proactive and a self-starter, working with a high-level of autonomy, but will understand their role in making our community’s vision come alive and the importance of co-production and effective team-working to make this happen. Working on an equal footing with our Strategy & Fundraising Lead, you will co-manage Seed Studios with them. You will be a musician yourself, with experience of facilitating workshops or community groups, and will understand how music can help people overcome the barriers they face to leading a positive life, as so many at Seed Studios do every week.
