The Project Coordinator will lead on the logistics of trainings, concerts, in-school visits from composers and musicians, and culmination events. The role will be the central point of contact for sharing project materials, schedules, briefing notes, event plans and managing the process of feedback on student's compositions, which are then collated, compiled, edited and shared as scores and recordings. Since 2022, our WeCompose project has engaged thousands of young people in dozens of towns and cities. Working with professional composers and musicians alongside liaising with school staff and music hubs, this role is a key part of making this exciting project happen, inspiring young music-makers across the country. This role requires someone who has experience of running in-school music education projects or similar and is passionate about delivering excellent projects for young people who may have limited experience of high quality music-making. It requires working with schools, teachers, volunteers, children and young people, so some knowledge of how schools operate within their academic timeframes and safeguarding requirements is needed. Exceptional attention to detail and first-class administration skills are needed to ensure correct information is distributed, along with excellent written and verbal communication skills and a proficiency with data input. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and cheerful, able to work within a small team and to take responsibility for their own projects. With a passion for music education, we would like to see a willingness to be prepared to take a hands-on approach to the practical aspects of event management. The WeCompose Project Coordinator leads on the practical administration on WeCompose, our transformative in-school composition project that operates in multiple regions across England. This includes being the main project contact and overseeing the scheduling and delivery of the project and the training, events and the in-school sessions through which it is delivered. Working closely with the Head of Programmes, who directs this project, and the Composition & Creativity Coordinator, who is the educational lead and focuses on teaching and learning and the role of in-school composers.
