Chaperones look after the children’s safety around the building and assist our artistic team to support children who benefit from a little extra help during rehearsals. The role is a non-musical one as rehearsals are led by our choir leaders. There is no need for applicants to have experience of singing or music-making, but they should be able to demonstrate enthusiasm and encouragement to the children. Chaperones are needed from 3.40pm to 5.50pm on Monday afternoons during choir terms.

Experience required

Experience and confidence of working with children, good verbal communication, a positive outlook, punctual and reliable.
Share our values and enjoyment and appreciation of community music-making,
