As exciting plans for a new National Centre for Music (NCM) at Edinburgh's former Royal High School progress, we are searching for a Chair and Board of Trustees to help bring this iconic, cultural destination to life.
From our home in the former Royal High School building on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, the National Centre for Music will become an energising force in Scotland’s music sector. Through a variety of programmes and partnerships, the centre will nurture and celebrate music making from across Scotland. It will present a striking programme of music – across all genres – for audiences to enjoy within a spectacular location, as well as supporting artists and organisations to develop new projects, skills, networks and profile. Nestled within two acres of beautiful, landscaped gardens, the centre will be open every day for people to enjoy and expand their musical passions.
We are looking for around four new trustees, including a Chair, to work closely with our executive team to develop and launch the organisation - defining the brand, setting the business model and staff team, establishing business partnerships and ensuring integration and collaboration with the music sector, as well as with Edinburgh and Scotland’s wider cultural infrastructure.
During these early years, there is expected to be five board meetings per year, plus one strategy development day. Given the nature of the project, it’s hoped trustees will offer their expertise in leading working groups and attending workshops.
As we launch ourselves as a new national player, we need fresh entrepreneurial thinking to build an innovative, resilient organisation. We are particularly seeking candidates with expertise in:
- Business development
- Brand and marketing
- EDI (Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion)
- Finance
We also want to ensure the music community at large feels represented in our governance and welcome applications from musicians. So whether you’re an experienced Trustee or someone who has never been on a board before, if you have first-hand knowledge of the music sector in Scotland or feel truly passionate about what we’re trying to achieve, we’d love to hear from you – and we’ll make sure you feel welcome and supported.

Our Vision
We exist to: Reveal and rethink the ways we live in order to live better together.
We are: A place to explore and debate the meaning of home – past present and future. Using collections, content and programming to spark ideas and conversation. Working in partnership to be a force for change on issues affecting the ways we live.

We work in ways which are:
Bold. Be brave in trying new things, taking action and fighting for change on issues affecting the ways we live.
Kind. Be friendly, generous and considerate in all our actions.

About Museum of the Home
History. Museum of the Home is in Hoxton, long an area of diverse and shifting communities. We opened in 1914 as the Geffrye Museum of furniture and woodwork and, over the last 120 years, have developed a focus on domestic experience, changing our name and identity in 2019. The Museum is located in almshouses built in 1714 with a bequest from Sir Robert Geffrye, a merchant who made some of his money from investments in transatlantic slavery. We are now reassessing this legacy through our programmes and creative partnerships.
Transformation. In June 2021, we reopened to visitors following an £18.4 million redevelopment that nearly doubled public space - with new galleries, learning spaces, café, entrance hub and collections study room. In July 2024 we completed the first stage of the transformation of some of our famous room sets from the 1870s to the future. Our new rooms explore everyday domestic experiences and expand representation of migration and gender identity in the UK, alongside stories of style, taste and design. Together with our visitors, we reveal diverse, thought-provoking and personal stories of home through collections, exhibitions, events, performance and debate.
Working in partnership. We work with international partners and collaborate across the UK to support original research into and responses to the meaning of home, past, present and future.
Communities. We have active programmes with local community groups, including the East and South-East Asian communities.
Collections. We have a collection of around 40,000 objects, including our library and archives. Going forward we want to expand and diversify these collections, to represent more experiences of home and home life.
Charitable status. We are an independent charitable company limited by guarantee set up as the Geffrye Museum Trust in 1990, registered charity number 803052, company number 2476642.
Funding. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) sponsors the Trust through grant-in-aid. We supplement this from earned income, donations and sponsorship.
