Fairbeats delivers music projects for young refugees, asylum seekers and migrant communities in Lewisham, Kingston and Wandsworth working in partnership with community support centres and supplementary schools.

More information and films about our work can be found at www.fairbeats.co.uk.

Each year we offer the opportunity for trainee leaders to join our team and work alongside us delivering music sessions. This year we are looking for one trainee to join us at our Wandsworth project: the Love to Learn homework club at the Katherine Low Settlement (one evening per term-time week).

Love to Learn is a homework club for children of primary school age. During Fairbeats sessions, the children take part in group creative music making, song-writing and learn the ukulele. The children work towards performances and recordings, and are also supported to access progression opportunities, such as 1-to-1 tuition.

The trainee will assist with group music sessions and will contribute to performances and recordings. Each session also includes some planning and reflection time.

The ideal candidate doesn’t need to have extensive education experience, but will be a highly competent musician and be able to demonstrate a strong desire to lead group music-making and work with children who are facing challenging circumstances in their lives.
