• Raise safeguarding concerns with the safeguarding leads of the school and the Centre, and follow the safeguarding procedures of both the school and the Centre;
• Report adverse events in accordance with the AWARE Trial’s procedures;
• Communicate and collaborate with the YAM Assistant to find the best way to work together;

We run communal music-making projects where participants create their own music, put on performances, and make recordings. Our projects are all about social connection, communication, working together to explore creatively and find inspiration in often very challenging circumstances. We particularly like working with Indonesian gamelan as it creates an excellent space for inclusive, impactful work. It is very accessible and well suited to collaboration and developing confidence.

To ensure high quality tutorials, they will train and provide ongoing feedback to tutors.

The role requires a driven and dynamic team player, with experience of success in school teaching, academia, or programme management. The successful candidate will champion the charity’s values and embody them in interactions with colleagues and partners. They will be comfortable in building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, prioritising and managing logistics. They will coordinate programme activities, track progress and deliver results. They will be positive and proactive, with a commitment to delivering excellent standards.

This is a great opportunity to join The Brilliant Club team, as we become the UK’s largest university access movement. We are looking forward to meeting great candidates who are excited to join us as we help more young people progress to university and thrive when they get there. 

We think it is important that our charity reflects the lived experience of our beneficiaries, and we want to be an organisation where employees from any background can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from disabled, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME), Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans including non-binary (LGBTQ+) candidates and candidates from low-income families.
