We’re looking for a Data Officer to join our growing Young Sounds team. You will fulfil an important cross-organisational role, working closely with the team to collate and analyse the data collected through all our programmes.
About Young Sounds UK
Young Sounds exists because musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. We’re here to change this in two key ways:
• We support young musicians from low-income families with funding and other help;
• We support music education through training, advocacy and research.
We became an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation in April 2023 and also joined an expanded cohort of National Youth Music Organisations (NYMOs). We currently support around 900 individual young people across the UK every year and demand for our support is increasing. It’s an exciting time to join a pioneering organisation at the forefront of British music education.
The role
The Data Officer will fulfil an important cross-organisational role, working closely with the team to collate and analyse the data collected through all our programmes. Young Sounds is a reflective organisation. We’ve always invested time and effort in seeking out, understanding and demonstrating the difference our programmes are making. We believe in learning from experience. This is what we mean by evaluation.
Since 2023 we have committed to evaluating all three of our main programmes, each of which tackles a key barrier to young people’s musical progression. Each quarter we review our progress against both our Arts Council England Activity Plan (where measures of success are agreed annually) and the actions we’ve set for each year against each of Arts Council England’s four Investment Principles. We believe that data plays an integral part in telling the story of our work, and we regularly draw upon the information collated through evaluation to update our wider funding base (e.g. Trusts and Foundations) on the work we are doing. The Data Officer will work with the External Evaluator to enable us to report effectively and accurately on our progress to all our funders.
Working relationships
Reporting to the Finance and Operations Director you will also work closely with the External Evaluator, Development Manager, Finance Officer, and other members of the wider Young Sounds team.
Place of work
Home-based, with occassional travel for meetings.

This is an incredible opportunity to lead a highly-respected, visionary, organisation with a peerless track record of achieving change in immigration detention policy and practice. We are looking for an exceptional individual with strong strategic leadership and people management skills, and an unwavering commitment to human rights, above all the rights of people in detention.
Our new Director will be leading the organisation in a period of both challenges and opportunity, as the new Government settles in and debates about immigration policy continue. Despite the uncertain times, we are committed to continuing to challenge immigration detention in the UK. The new Director will inherit a well-resourced, effective and well-regarded organisation with an impressive, dedicated and friendly staff team. While the role will be multi-faceted, it will be hugely rewarding, supported by a committed board of trustees.
BID is a small organisation - our new Director will own the overall operation, management and sustainability of the charity, with the support of committed trustees. The Director will lead on strategic leadership, finance and operations, people and culture, fundraising, policy and communications, legal casework and governance and regulation - all with the support of our brilliant team of 10 staff, and the opportunity to recruit. As with any small charity, the post-holder will need to be agile and responsive.
