The Choir with No Name London - Choir Director (Freelance)

Are you a dynamic musical leader who understands how singing builds genuine community? The Choir with No Name is seeking a passionate Choir Director to lead our London choir from January 2026. We create joyful singing communities with people experiencing homelessness and marginalisation, building safe spaces where musical excellence and human connection go hand-in-hand. 

Every Monday night, you'll lead a vibrant community through repertoire that ranges from intimate local performances to world-class venues like Cadogan Hall and St Martin in the Fields. This isn't just about conducting - you'll co-create a therapeutic, trauma-informed environment where choir members take active leadership roles, develop genuine friendships, and rebuild confidence alongside their vocal skills. Working closely with the Choir Manager, you'll prepare members for 6-12 performances annually while fostering the collaborative spirit that makes our choirs special. 

We're looking for someone with mixed-ability choir experience, excellent musical and arrangement skills, and the empathy to work with people facing various vulnerabilities. Understanding of trauma-informed practice is essential, as is the ability to work independently while maintaining strong collaborative relationships.

• Contract: Freelance contract

• Fees: £181 per week plus performance fees

• Location: Weekly rehearsals in Stoke Newington and travel across London and beyond when required
