Overview
The Choir with No Name runs choirs and builds joyful singing communities with homeless and marginalised people, around the UK. Currently, there are six choirs: in Birmingham, Liverpool, London, Coventry, Brighton (run in partnership with BHT Sussex) and Cardiff (run in partnership with The Wallich). We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it distracts you from all the nonsense in life and helps you to build confidence, skills and genuine, long-lasting friendships. Our choir members are people who have experienced homelessness, or who are simply going through a tough time in their lives.
“I’m so happy to have found CWNN. It’s made such a difference to me. I’ve broken a 25-year cycle with drugs and honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without the choir. I’m not existing anymore, I’m living, and that’s huge.”

This role could be for you if you come from a background of volunteer management, client involvement, participation, or co-production.

We’re seeking a Volunteering and Development Manager to join our fantastic Volunteering and Participation team!
As our organisation grows we want to ensure we are consistently providing a great experience for volunteers and lived experience participants. In the first year the focus will be on introducing best practice and consistency by developing and introducing new processes and tools. In the second year the focus will move to growing and diversifying our volunteer and participant numbers across all areas.
We have brought the areas of volunteering and participation of people with lived experience in our work, together in this role and team. We see these areas as having some points of distinctions, and also that many of the approaches and policies underpinning them are the same.

PCUK has made a commitment to diversifying and building the participation of people with lived experience across all levels of our work. Our recent audit has demonstrated we already do lots of great things, but we are committed to doing more and to ensuring that people with lived experience are regularly involved from the start in shaping projects and working alongside staff with learnt experience and in meaningful ways.
We are a new team and you will work closely with the Involvement and Volunteering Development Services Manager, who provides the strategic direction for the team, and the People and Culture Administrator who handles volunteer and participation enquiries.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce.

The role
The Programme and Evaluation Manager organises our music programmes: ongoing workshop series in detention centres and other settings, performances, special projects. So the role sits at the very centre of our work. Working closely with the Artistic Director, you will make Hear Me Out’s artistic programme a reality.
The main part of the job is to co-ordinate programme activities. This means you would need to:
- Liaise with settings, partners, artists and colleagues
- Match, book and support our artists
- Organise a mass of artistic and practical detail
- Work directly with people with lived experience of detention and asylum
- Understand the context and purpose of the work and what’s needed to make it succeed
We’re committed to evaluating our work. We want to know what difference it makes and what we can do better, so we ask participants to tell us what they think, and collect this data as we go along, to build up a picture of our impact. Organising this is an important part of the job. You’ll also lead some evaluation activities, such as focus groups with participants.
You’ll be the main point of contact for Hear Me Out’s freelance Associate Artists, supporting and supervising them as they lead music projects with adults and children, organising artist care and development activities, and helping bring people with lived experience into our artistic team.
Our programme is bigger than it has ever been, it has changed dramatically in the last few years in response to new challenges thrown up by the immigration system and we expect it will keep changing. So there will be lots of scope for you to make changes and develop new work.
This is a special opportunity to work join a supportive, dynamic team delivering extraordinary work.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with strong people skills and equally strong organisational skills. For the music-making to have its intended impact, you will need to have a real eye for fine detail, and lots of sensitivity and awareness of people and their needs, whether they are people going through the immigration system, or managers in detention centres and asylum hotels.
You’ll know something of our context, or be able to learn that quickly. You’ll be skilled at communicating with artists, colleagues and partners to ensure we have a shared, realistic plan. You’ll understand how the detail of artistic planning feeds through into outcomes. And you’ll be able to evaluate those outcomes in a systematic way.
We are a small team, and most of us work part-time. You’ll need to work independently, co-operate and communicate consistently, and adapt readily when things change. You’ll need to be available on Wednesdays (our ‘team day’), and sometimes to work evenings and weekends.
Hear Me Out is committed to diversity, and is working to bring more people with relevant lived experience into our team. We very much encourage applications from people from culturally diverse backgrounds, applicants with disabilities or neuro-diverse conditions, and people of different ages, gender, sexual orientations and socio-economic backgrounds. We very much encourage applications from people with personal experience of immigration detention, or the asylum process, or immigration enforcement. If you have programme experience and also this kind of lived experience, we would especially love to hear from you.
