We are open to a range of experience and backgrounds. Prior experience in any of consultancy and partnership management, data analysis and report writing, research and evaluation, or the UK education system is likely to be particularly useful.

Partnerships and delivery Project manage evaluation partnerships, coordinating delivery and often leading much of it, with support from a project sponsor. Drive partnerships forward through proactive communication and follow-up, build partner buy-in by involving different stakeholders, and manage scope and the risk of over- or under-delivery.

Colleagues, practice and Group Plan and manage your time, give and act on constructive feedback, communicate openly about progress and blockers, and mentor junior colleagues.

About The Music Works

The Music Works is a Gloucestershire charity that transforms young lives through music. We’re specialists in working with young people in challenging circumstances to help them reach their full potential in music, in learning and in life. We work with over 3,000 young people a year in schools and our four community studios in Gloucester, and the Forest of Dean. Our approach is youth-led, with young people involved at every stage of planning and delivery.

About the role

Despite holding significant commercially viable assets, The Music Works currently generates a very small proportion of its income through traded commercial activity. For the purposes of this engagement, commercial income means earned income from trading only, covering areas such as facility and Music Bus hire, training and consultancy, and similar fee-based services. 

We are looking for someone to do the essential scoping work, to rigorously assess what we have, what the market will bear, and what a realistic commercial development strategy looks like for an organisation of our size, mission and sector context. The output will directly inform our longer-term commercial development activity and provide the foundation for a potential future employed commercial role. 

We are asking someone with deep commercial development expertise to help us understand what is genuinely viable, set out a clear strategic plan, and leave us with the tools and confidence to execute it. 

The engagement will be considered successful when the final report gives the Board and Leadership Team sufficient evidence and clarity to decide which income streams to invest in, at what pace, and whether and when to create an employed commercial role to lead that work.

For the full scope of work and further details on how to express an interest please visit The Music Works website.
