The Sheffield Choir has been running in Sheffield for one year, in partnership with the Archer Project and Sheffield Cathedral, who support homeless and vulnerable people in Monday evening at 6.30pm at Sheffield Cathedral. Our rehearsals follow the usual Choir with No Name format of tea, biscuits and a chat before rehearsal, then ninety minutes of joyful singing (mostly pop and rock, arranged for mixed ability in 3- and 4-part harmony) followed by a free hot meal for members.

We're looking for someone with strong project management skills, able to organise the project so that our members can safely access weekly rehearsals and regularperformances. The Choir Manager works in close partnership with the choir director who will lead the choir musically, as well as with the Archer Project and Sheffield Cathedral teams. The Choir Manager is also responsible for looking after a small group of dedicated volunteers who will help with preparing a hot meal after rehearsals and offering pastoral support to members. We're looking for someone with some experience in working alongside vulnerable people, offering support and signposting members to specialist services on occasions. It’s a busy and varied role which should be a lot of fun and has plenty of support from the wider Choir with No Name programmes team as we launch this exciting new project.

  In partnership with the Wallich, our Cardiff choir has been bringing people impacted by homelessness together every Tuesday evening since 2021.  We’re now looking for an enthusiastic Choir Manager to join us for an initial four-month period.

Working closely with our Cardiff Music Director, you will coordinate and support a small team of volunteers, helping the choir to thrive. You’ll be responsible for recruiting new choir members and supporting them to feel welcome, build confidence, and, where appropriate, signposting them to additional services.
