- Produce resources and content for the Youth Music community.
- Present information and learning to internal and external colleagues.
General
- Carry out all such additional duties as are reasonably commensurate with the role.
- This post will require travel across the UK, occasionally involving overnight stays.
- This job description is not necessarily an exhaustive list of duties but is intended to reflect a range of duties the post-holder will perform.
