Join Kent Music’s Board of Trustees
Help shape the future of music education in Kent & Medway.
Kent Music is the lead organisation for the Kent & Medway Music Hub, funded by Arts Council England, and a charity dedicated to widening access to high-quality music education. Driven by our belief that music changes lives, we work closely with schools, colleges, cultural organisations and partners to ensure that learners of all ages, particularly children and young people, can access and progress in music.
We are now seeking new trustees to join our Board and help guide our work through an exciting and ambitious next chapter.
Who we’re looking for:
We are looking for two trustees with experience or expertise in one or more of the following areas:
· Fundraising
· Finance
· Communications
Professional experience of working in music or education is not necessary, what matters most is a genuine interest in music education and a commitment to Kent Music’s purpose and values.
In this role, you will:
· Contribute your professional insight and expertise to Board discussions
· Support and challenge the executive team in shaping strategy and ensuring sustainability
· Help oversee the governance, financial health and long-term direction of the charity
· Act collectively with fellow trustees, sharing responsibility for Board decisions
Who you are:
· An experienced professional, keen to use your skills to support a charitable cause
· Interested in the role music can play in young people’s lives and communities
· A strategic thinker, ready to contribute, support and challenge constructively at Board level
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage interest from those currently underrepresented in music education and governance.
Why become a trustee?
Being a trustee is a rewarding and strategic voluntary role. You will play a vital part in shaping Kent Music’s vision, supporting its leadership, and strengthening music education across the region.
Alongside making a meaningful contribution, you will gain experience in charity governance, develop your leadership and strategic skills, and broaden your professional network. 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.
