Love Music Junior Choir Volunteer Chaperone

Love Music Junior Choir is for children aged 8-12 from all areas of Edinburgh with up 150 members. The choir is about giving everyone the chance to take part in a high quality musical experience while having fun and celebrating individuality. Chaperones look after the children’s safety around the building and assist our artistic team to support children who benefit from a little extra help during rehearsals. The role is a non-musical one as rehearsals are led by our choir leaders. There is no need for applicants to have experience of singing or music-making, but they should be able to demonstrate enthusiasm and encouragement to the children, regardless of their own or the child’s singing abilities.

Requirements
The people we are looking for will have experience of being around or working with children of this age range and feel confident to be a responsible adult in situations such as giving emotional support or co-leading a group during an evacuation. They will have a good level of verbal English, be able to understand and follow procedures (including those relevant to child protection), and be punctual and reliable.

Chaperones are needed from 3.40pm to 5.50pm on Monday afternoons during choir terms. On concert days, some chaperones are required for the evening too. There is no obligation for any chaperone to be available for every rehearsal.
