Join Kent Music’s Board of Trustees
Help shape the future of music education in Kent & Medway.
Why become a trustee?
Being a trustee is both a rewarding and strategic volunteer opportunity. You’ll play a vital role in shaping Kent Music’s vision, supporting its leadership, and strengthening music education for the region.
Trustees are supported through induction, training and mentoring, and we are committed to making the experience enriching for you as well as impactful for the organisation.
Who we’re looking for:
We are excited to invite two young people aged 16–25 to join our Board of Trustees. You might be a music student, a young creative, or someone eager to learn how charities are run and how your voice can shape decisions at the highest level of a charity.
In this role, you will:
* Gain hands-on experience in leadership, governance and strategic planning.
* Build your CV with valuable skills in finance, decision-making and organisational oversight.
* Receive tailored support and mentoring from an experienced Board member.
Who are you:
* Aged 16–25, with a passion for music and creativity.
* Eager to learn, with an interest in how organisations and charities work.
* Ready to share your perspective & represent the voices of young people in Kent & Medway.
* A team player who is open to support, learning and growth.
You don’t need to have previous experience as a trustee – just a strong interest in music and a desire to make a difference. We’re looking for individuals who are learning or playing music regularly, or who are involved in a music group or choir.
How to apply:
To express your interest, please email recruitment@kent-music.com with your application form by 9 am on Friday, 8th August 2025. Interviews will be held during August 2025
The full role description, application form, and equality & diversity monitoring form are available at www.kent-music.com/vacancies CVs will not be accepted.
Kent Music is committed to equity and inclusion. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage interest from those currently underrepresented in music education and governance.
