Sistema Scotland’s vision is to improve lives and strengthen communities. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change. By playing music together in ensembles and orchestras, we aim to grow confidence, respect, teamwork and aspiration in the children, young people and communities we work with.
We deliver our work through six Big Noise programmes: in Torry in Aberdeen, Raploch & Fallin in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow, Douglas in Dundee and Wester Hailes in Edinburgh.
We are looking for temporary Support Musicians to work within the Torry community of Aberdeen, working during school term only, between 7 and 14 hour per week, worked between Monday and Thursday (exact hours and days to be confirmed with the successful applicants).
This is a training role, designed for those who would like to gain hands-on experience in Big Noise principles, philosophy, and curriculum.

The successful applicants will work closely with Big Noise Torry Musicians and Support Workers, who provide teaching and support opportunities, constructive feedback, and guidance on all elements of Big Noise.
