Project & Wellbeing Officer

As the Project and Wellbeing Officer, you will be an essential part of both the national and community and placeteams. 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.

The Project and Wellbeing Officer will be part of both the national and community and place teams. The areas worked across include 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, organised, proactive and loves systems and processes.

• Support the team to develop projects efficiently and help young people progress through programmes.
• Work with vulnerable young people, adapting communication to be empathetic and creative.
• Collaborate across national and community and place teams to deliver initiatives in the areas identified (creative health, youth violence/criminality, youth voice and advocacy).

• Excellent and confident communication skills.
• Strong organisational skills, proactive mindset, and fluency with systems and processes.
• Ability to work empathetically with young people, including those facing mental health challenges.
