2026 Jazz Scotland Board Recruitment
-Join our Board of Directors
Jazz Scotland is a charity promotes, supports and champions jazz and related musics in Scotland.
We’ve recently secured Multi-Year Funding from Creative Scotland, providing us with a stable foundation to grow. Now, we’re looking for new voices and fresh perspectives to help us hit the right notes as we expand our impact.
-Who Are We Looking For?
You don’t need to be a professional musician to join us. We are looking for people who are passionate about helping Scotland’s community of audiences, students, and musicians thrive.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:
• Education & Community Engagement
• Finance
• Marketing & Fundraising
-What’s Involved?
Being a Board Member is a voluntary role where you help steer our strategy and ensure we’re meeting our goals.
Meetings: Roughly 4 times per year, plus occasional project-specific catch-ups.
Time: Meetings usually last 2–3 hours.
Flexibility: We work on a hybrid model (In-Person and Online). To make sure everyone can participate, we rotate meeting days, times, and locations across Scotland.
Support: This is a voluntary position, but we fully reimburse travel expenses and are committed to covering any access needs you have to help you participate comfortably.
A Note on Representation: Jazz is built on improvisation, diversity, and innovation. We want our Board to reflect those values. We are working hard to address current imbalances and particularly keen to welcome applications from women, underrepresented genders, and people of all backgrounds and ages. We want our leadership to be as diverse as the music we celebrate.
A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference For more information please visit https://sites.google.com/jazzscotland.com/joinourboard/home (and the Board Application is available at the bottom of the web page) or contact John Youngs, CEO at [email protected] for more info/an informal chat about the role.
