Co-Lead Music Facilitator

WHAT IS MUSIC COLLECTIVE?
We aim to establish a positive environment where young people, regardless of their backgrounds or experiences, can work together inclusively to create artistic work over which they have shared creative control and ownership.

Music Collective focuses on improvisation and experimentation as a starting point for ensemble playing, song-writing and composition. The group work on musicianship skills in sessions (such as singing, chords, lyric-writing, and exploring musical themes) as well as working towards annual live performances / studio recordings. Sessions incorporate and explore alternative and accessible ways of notating music and understanding music theory. We support creative responses regardless of members’ previous instrumental music experience.

Music Collective is for young people aged 16-30. Currently 15 young people attend Music Collective and the facilitation team consists of 2 Co-Lead Facilitators, 1 Assistant Facilitator, 3 access support workers, and 5 volunteers.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
This is a Co-Lead Facilitator role, responsible for the planning and delivery of weekly Angel Shed Music Collective sessions, stimulating and furthering music skills through engaging and appropriate activities. We are looking for a motivated, dynamic, and committed facilitator who is passionate about inclusion, music, and working with children and young people. The successful applicant will enable creative responses from participants to flourish, thereby enhancing their artistic, personal and social development. They will be a playful facilitator who can handle the creative unpredictability of sessions with a light-hearted approach and keep the wellbeing of young people always at the forefront.
