About us:

Our Coventry choir was initially created to be part of a performance with Cardboard Citizens and was initially funded by the City of Culture initiative.  The choir was a great success mainly due to the passion and input of the members. We are therefore continuing rehearsals each week on a Wednesday evening and doing wonderful gigs around the local area. The choir is built on the premise of co-production and centred toward the strengths and abilities of the members that run it.  As a choir director you will lead rehearsals, inspire, and impassion the group to be the best they can, but also work alongside them to keep the choir going.

This is an exciting and pioneering project that is developing new ways of working alongside people who have traditionally been side lined or underestimated in their ability to input into services and projects.

About the role:

We are looking for an experienced, creative, fun and inspiring Choir Director to lead the choir on a weekly basis from our Coventry venue.  You will have experience and/or an understanding of coproduced projects and working alongside people who live with vulnerabilities in their lives.  You will also be able to work from your own initiative and have confidence in leading alongside members.   

If you think you have the skills and drive to successfully direct our wonderful Coventry choir, then get in touch!

The closing date for applications is 9am Monday 20th February 2023

You will be contacted by 25th February if you are shortlisted for audition.
