The Choir with No Name London – Choir Manager
Part time (20 hours per week)

£35,057.32 (pro rata)
One-year fixed term with possibility of extension

 

About us:

The Choir with No Name runs choirs and builds joyful singing communities with people impacted by homelessness and marginalisation, around the UK. We currently have choirs in Birmingham, Liverpool, London, Brighton, Coventry, Cardiff and Sheffield.

We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good - it helps you to build confidence, skills and genuine, long-lasting friendships. Our choir members are people who have experienced homelessness, or who are going through a tough time in their lives. Our choirs are a supportive, safe space for people to be among friends, where they can experience the joy of singing together, have fun, build confidence and skills, and feel more able to tackle life's other challenges, such as securing housing or finding work.

What we do is simple: our choirs meet once a week for a cuppa and a catch up, we then sing our hearts out for an hour and a half and sit down together afterwards for a hot meal cooked by volunteers.

We perform regularly at a whole load of different places, including local homeless hostels, community festivals and world-class venues, such as the Cadogan Hall and Brighton Dome. Gigs are a highlight for everyone at the Choir with No Name, offering members something to work towards together and feel proud of, showcasing their many talents to the world. The thrill of performing in front of appreciative audiences in inspirational venues can instil a sense of purpose and self-worth that may have been lost along the way.

We also deliver community projects for people at risk of homelessness, or who are experiencing related issues (such as mental health challenges, drug and alcohol addiction, refugees and asylum seekers) in each of the cities where we work, motivated by a desire to share the joy of singing with as many people experiencing isolation and marginalisation as possible, and hopefully recruit a few more choir members along the way!

About the role:

We are looking for a highly motivated and creative manager for our London choir involving people impacted by homelessness. You’ll be part of a supportive team at CWNN and will work closely with our choir director to deliver fun, inclusive, welcoming rehearsals and gigs throughout the year.

This is an exciting and varied role working with our choir members and volunteers to support the safe running of weekly rehearsals, as well as delivering regular gigs and outreach workshops across London (and beyond!).  You will need to be available to attend Monday night rehearsals in Stoke Newington London and have an understanding of working with people who have experienced complex trauma.

About us

Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.

We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don't have to be Christian to work here - we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we're open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues and the option of being a homeworker for most of our roles too.

About the role

At Christian Aid, we believe lasting change happens when people work together for justice. Our supporters are at the heart of that change and we're now looking for a Supporter Experience Manager to shape how thousands of people connect with our mission.

This is a unique opportunity to design and deliver Christian Aid's first unified supporter journey framework, creating seamless, inspiring experiences that drive engagement, giving, and long-term loyalty.

• Lead our first Supporter Experience Strategy, uniting teams across the organisation.

• Harness data and supporter insights to drive evidence-based decisions.
• Foster innovation, testing new technologies and approaches to enhance engagement.

• Significant experience in a supporter experience role or delivering journey strategy.
• A track record creating and delivering multichannel communications.
• Strong data and analytical skills to refine approaches and measure success.
• Excellent collaboration, influencing, and project management abilities.
• Experience with CRM systems, matrix management, KPI measurement or leading change initiatives is desirable, but most importantly, you'll have a supporter-first mindset and the drive to inspire meaningful connections.
• You'll also be committed to Christian Aid's vision to see a world where everyone can live a full life free from poverty and injustice.
