Job Summary

Music in Action is a charity dedicated to creating life-changing musical experiences and widening access to music for children and young people. We are seeking trustees for our newly developing UK branch.

Job Description

As a Trustee, you will help guide the strategic direction of the charity, ensuring we remain true to our mission, financially sustainable and well governed.

Trustees work collectively to:

Set the charity’s strategic direction.

Ensure good governance and legal compliance.

Oversee financial sustainability and risk management.

Support and challenge the executive team.

Act as ambassadors for Music in Action and its mission.

Board meetings will be held quarterly, with occasional additional meetings or events as required.

Who we’re looking for:

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and levels of board experience. A passion for improving lives through music is more important than previous trustee experience.

We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with expertise in areas such as:

Education

Charity governance

Finance or accountancy

Marketing and communications

HR and people management

Arts and culture

Community engagement

We are committed to building a diverse Board and encourage applications from people whose backgrounds and experiences are currently under-represented in the charity sector.

Job Requirements

Approximately 4 hours’ time commitment per month, including quarterly Board meetings and occasional events.

How to Apply

To express your interest, please send a CV and a brief covering statement outlining why you would like to become a Trustee and the skills or experience you would bring to the Board to Hannah Roper-Smith, UK Operations Manager: [email protected].

We welcome informal conversations with prospective applicants before they apply.

The closing date for applications is 30th September 2026 at 5pm.
