JOIN THE TEAM

Here are all the roles we currently have available…

Alum Trustee

Orchestras for All is looking for an Alum Trustee to join our Board of Trustees for a two-year term, helping us shape the future of our charity and supporting its ambition to empower young people nationwide.

In this role, a key responsibility will be to Co-Chair OFA’s Youth Board, which is made up of young people from our programmes. This will enable the Alum Trustee to gain insight from our participants that can later be shared during trustees’ meetings. The OFA team and our trustees will provide support and training for this throughout.

The Youth Board will be consulted on all major decisions made by the organisation and will have the opportunity to bring their own ideas to the table to shape and improve our work.
