Reporting to: Director of Services & Research

Location: London WC1X 

Contract and hours: Permanent contract – 35 hours per week (Monday to Friday) 

About us 

Music touches us like nothing else on earth. It lifts us, consoles us, breaks our hearts, then heals them, makes us laugh, love, cry, and feel things more intensely. That’s pretty special. But making it all happen is challenging.

Work in the music industry is often on a freelance basis with no HR support. Pay is unreliable. Conditions inconsistent. Hours long and unpredictable. Practically, psychologically and emotionally, this takes its toll. Our availability and support make a significant difference. From studio assistants and artist managers to music therapists and lighting designers, every music person’s mental wellbeing matters. When they thrive, music thrives. That’s why it’s important. For all of us.

At Music Minds Matter we aim to make a positive difference to the mental wellbeing of everyone in music. We do this through connecting people in music to the information and support they need to take care of themselves and each other, building a shared understanding of mental wellbeing in music to enable people to get the right help early and fostering thriving teams and work spaces which promote and protect the mental wellbeing of their people. 

About the role 

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team, in the newly created role of Support and Community Manager: Music Minds Matter.

Music Minds Matter has developed an ambitious new impact model which aims to transform mental wellbeing amongst people working in music and this role will manage the development and delivery of support within this model and play a truly impactful role across music. 

Day to day the role will deliver a blend of: new support development- from training and groups, to online digital content- ensuring all support is developed in line with our Clinical and Quality Governance protocols, planning and coordinating support for teams and sites across music, direct delivery of some support online and in person, and relationship management of our incredible network of Allies and delivery partners. 

About you 

Lived experience of the music industry, strong programme management skills, mental health service expertise, and the ability to build meaningful stakeholder connections across music will be the essential enablers for true impact in this role. 

You will need to self-manage a diverse portfolio of opportunities — mixing programme management with industry events and meetings to foster partnership. You will need to combine an in-depth understanding of safe and high-quality mental health support with a genuine understanding of what it’s like to work in music and what can make people in music thrive; and you will need to be a compelling and confident communicator able to convey both expertise and empathy. 

Our work has a direct impact on the lives of thousands of people in music every year. If you are passionate about making sure music is a place where everyone can thrive, then this could be the place for you.

How do I apply?

At Diabetes UK, everything we do is about improving the lives of people affected by diabetes. But we know that to do our best work externally, we need to pay just as much attention to how we support, develop and engage our people internally.

That’s where this role comes in. We’re looking for a Senior Learning & Development (L&D) Advisor to join our Learning and Engagement team on a maternity cover. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced L&D professional who loves designing great learning experiences, partnering with managers, and helping organisations live their values through meaningful development.

This is a hands-on, influential role sitting in our Learning and Engagement team within the People and Organisational Development Directorate. You’ll work with colleagues across the charity to shape learning at both an individual and organisational level.

You’ll design and deliver engaging learning experiences (online and in person), support managers and leaders through coaching and action learning, and project manage organisation-wide learning and culture initiatives. You’ll also play a key role in embedding our Values and Behaviours framework, ensuring it’s actively used, not just talked about.

A big part of the role is working collaboratively with HR colleagues, internal stakeholders, coaches and facilitators, to identify needs, design the right solutions, and make sure learning activity has real impact.

You’ll be an experienced L&D professional who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical delivery who can confidently design and deliver engaging, inclusive learning across leadership, management and personal development. You’re comfortable facilitating groups, influencing stakeholders, and juggling multiple projects without losing sight of people’s individual needs. You’ll also recognise yourself in our values: putting people first, keeping things simple, making change happen and being driven to know more.

Safeguarding for Children and Vulnerable Adults

CAFOD recognises the personal dignity and rights of children and vulnerable adults, towards whom it has a special responsibility and a duty of care and respect.  CAFOD, and all its staff and volunteers, undertake to do all in our power to create a safe environment for children, young people and vulnerable adults and to prevent their physical, sexual or emotional abuse.  CAFOD is committed to acting at all times in the best interests of children and vulnerable adults, seeing these interests as paramount.  Any candidate offered a job with CAFOD will be expected to adhere to CAFOD’s Safeguarding policy and sign CAFOD’s Code of Behaviour as an appendix to their contract of employment and agree to conduct themselves in accordance with the provisions of these documents.

All offers of employment will be subject to satisfactory references, and appropriate screening checks can include criminal records and terrorism finance checks. CAFOD also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this Scheme, we will request information from job applicants’ previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of, and consent to, these recruitment procedures. 

From crafting emails that inspire people to take action, to brainstorming graphics that cut through the noise, to getting stuck into the behind-the-scenes-detail that gets a campaign out the door, you’ll be working hard, fast and learning everyday.

The Digital Campaigns Assistant position is an entry level role. It’s open to recent graduates with relevant experience alongside their studies as well as candidates with 1-2 years of relevant work experience. 

The important thing is you’ve proven your interest in making change happen - whether that’s through volunteering, in community organising or campaigning. And you’ve got drive, ambition and the ability to learn quickly. 

If you’re ready to do meaningful work from day one and learn on the job the foundations of strong digital campaigning, apply to join the Small Axe team.
