Project & Wellbeing Officer

The Music Works is an award-winning Gloucestershire charity that uses music as a vehicle to transform the lives of young people (8-30 years) living in challenging circumstances. We work with all abilities, from absolute beginners to some of the county’s most skilled emerging artists. We specialise in music technology and production, singing and song writing, rap and beat boxing, using a range of musical instruments from guitars to Djembe drums, because we have found these approaches to be the most accessible and achieve the best outcomes.

Here is an introduction to our work:

As the Project and Wellbeing Officer, you will be an essential part of both the national and community and place teams. The areas you will work across are: creative health, projects that support young people involved in, or on the fringes of, youth violence/criminality and youth voice and advocacy. We are looking for someone who is an excellent and confident communicator, someone who is organised, proactive and loves systems and processes.

As the Project and Wellbeing Officer, you will be supporting the team to develop the projects efficiently and supporting young people to progress through programmes and understand what they can do next. Because many of our young people are vulnerable and struggle with mental health challenges, you will need you to be empathetic and creative when communicating.
