You’ll work in close partnership with schools, senior leaders and education providers to design impactful training, consultancy and performance opportunities. You will also oversee data gathering and evaluation, contribute to Arts Council England reporting, and support a dedicated delivery team to ensure our offer remains inclusive, responsive and high-quality.
You will facilitate collaboration through the Lead Schools Advisory Group and play a key role in developing a county-wide Singing Strategy aligned to local needs and national priorities. This is a hands-on role with both strategic influence and practical impact and is ideal for someone who wants to make a lasting difference to music education in Kent and Medway.
