Job Description
Liberty Choir is an award-winning charity bringing local volunteers and professional musicians into prison every week to create transformative musical and social experiences through singing. Through our choir programmes, we help the prison residents we work with build confidence and connect with others.

We are looking for highly skilled and versatile Accompanists to join our team as we continue our expansion into the South East in Autumn 2026. Successful candidates will be mature and well-rounded with outstanding skills as a piano accompanist. Candidates need to be excellent sight-readers, capable of reading from chord charts and playing by ear.

Working alongside the Musical Director, you will play an active part in creating welcoming, engaging and inclusive choir sessions. You will also support with taking registers and communicating with prisoners and prison staff during and around the sessions.

Sessions will run every week on the same day during weekday business hours (usually between 9:00 am - 12:00 pm or 1:30 - 4:30 pm), with the exact day and time will be confirmed in due course. Each session will last 3 hours inclusive of the time required to enter and leave the prison. Liberty Choir provides paid training to prepare you to work safely and confidently within a prison environment. On completion of a short probation period, Accompanists will be paid £150/session. There may also be opportunities to work in our London, Surrey and Sussex prisons. Successful applicants will be required to undertake security vetting and key training for work within prisons.

As prisons are not near transport hubs, you must have your own car/transport. Successful applicants will be required to undertake security vetting and key training for work within prisons.
