Are you passionate about music, inclusion and making a real difference? The OHMI Trust is looking for someone to lead our Instrument Development programmes. The heart of our mission is to make music truly inclusive for people with physical impairments and in this role you will be driving forward the development and delivery of adapted musical instruments. It is creative, purposeful work and we are looking for someone who cares deeply about the impact that music can have.
Our team is looking for someone who lives and breathes our passion as much as we do and will put the work (and the miles) into bringing our mission to life. You will do this through:
- Developing a strategic approach in how we can increase the range of instruments and supportive apparatus available, working with instrument makers and technologists where necessary.
- Identifying potential entrants for our OHMI Competition, which is where we challenge developers and instrument makers to adapt or create instruments that can be played without the use of one hand and arm.
- Supporting our OHMI Music-makers, a project that works with partner organisations to bring music lessons to individual students or a whole class by providing adapted instruments.
- Making sure we are communicating with our funders and Board of Trustees about our progress and impact.
And as a key member of the team, you will support us in promoting our great work at various key conferences and workshops.
No two days look the same here at the OHMI Trust, but a week could look like this:
· Arranging meetings with student groups working on instrument related engineering projects.
· Joining an online meeting to develop the strategy for overcoming a specific instrument production challenge.
· Writing an application for funding towards the next instrument/piece of equipment that is needed.
Hours: 18.75 per week, but flexible. Some weekend and evening work will be expected, as circumstances and opportunities require. This post is subject to a 6-month probation period.

Deadline for application: 5pm 4th July. Interview date: 23rd July in person.
Accountable to: OHMI's General Manager and, through her, the Board of Trustees
What we are looking for:
Essential
- A passion for improving inclusion in music-making, including an understanding of the barriers to participation for those with physical disabilities
- Strong organisational skills, including an ability to prioritise workloads effectively, manage multiple tasks and work flexibly as part of a team
- Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to adapt style and content to a range of different audiences and contexts
- Familiarity with standard office software (e.g. Microsoft Word and Excel) and an ability to build knowledge of new systems effectively
- Willingness and ability to travel throughout the UK as required for the job (travel expenses covered)
Desirable
- Technical skills - experience of working with instrument makers, designers or manufacturers
- Disability confident - experience of working with people with physical disabilities

About the job
Over the past decade Pembroke House’s activities in Walworth have grown considerably, with annual turnover rising from £200k to £1 million. Further growth is expected as a result of a new strategy anchored around five 10-year commitments to the neighbourhood, consolidation of our activities across two community buildings and continuing to build wide-ranging partnerships in Walworth.

Other members of the team manage petty cash, look after the room hire business (including invoicing and credit control) and administer pensions.

As a new role there will be plenty of opportunity to mould finance operations across the organisation. Finance systems are currently in place, and have satisfied the auditor over the past few years, but there remains scope for improvement, including through automation and upskilling of the wider team.
Key duties and responsibilities
- Foster a culture of financial responsibility, in conjunction with the Leadership Team.
- Draft the audit file and schedules and assist the auditor with follow up questions and queries.
- Lead on the preparation of the charity's annual budget.
- Prepare fundraising budgets, financial claims and invoices for funders in line with (grant) agreements.
- Approve and act as signatory to all contracts for services issued and received.
About Pembroke House
Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community in Walworth, south-east London.
We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Shocked by growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach: taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities. We continue to share a building with St Christopher’s church, which has its routes in the same student settlement.
For over 130 years, we’ve been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people – whatever their background or walk of life – in building a better Walworth.
Located in the heart of Walworth, we strive to empower communities and individuals to create a neighbourhood where everyone can flourish.
