About us 

Help Musicians and Music Minds Matter are powered by a love of music, which is why they empower and support those who create it and make it happen. 

For over 100 years, Help Musicians has been working hard to make a meaningful difference to the lives of musicians across the UK. In a precarious profession often filled with ups and downs, opportunities are hard-won whilst challenges come along all too easily, with unsteady income and physical and mental health concerns common issues. Help Musicians offers a broad range of help to support music creators in times of crisis and opportunity — ensuring musicians across the UK can achieve their creative potential and sustain a career in music. 

Music Minds Matter, puts mental wellbeing centre stage in music. It works proactively to help prevent mental health crises, providing everybody who works in music with the early support, knowledge and tools they need, at exactly the time they need them. 

Love Music; Help Musicians

About the opportunity 

A vital area of our charity’s work is our Musicians Visiting service, which offers musicians who receive long-term support from the charity (due to long-term illness, terminal illness, age, or often a combination of factors) regular telephone check-ins and in-person visits.

The purpose of the call or visit is to provide practical and pastoral support, and to make ongoing assessments of musicians’ needs, ensuring we continue to offer the most appropriate and timely support.

In-person visits take place at the musician’s home or at another agreed meeting place close to where they live, and therefore our team of Regional Visitors operate within agreed geographical areas across the U.K. We currently have opportunities for Regional Visitors to join our team in the following regions:

• Scotland

• West Midlands

Our Regional Visitors are allocated to musicians within their assigned geographical location and undertake an agreed number of calls and visits across the year. Approximately 35 in-person visits are required per year but can fluctuate depending on the geographical location need and applications we receive from musicians. 

As self-employed/freelance workers, our visiting team are paid an agreed rate for each call or visit. 

About you 

If you are based in Scotland or the West Midlands and are interested in using some of your time across the year to support musicians through our vital work, this could be the opportunity for you. 

With a passion for music, if you have experience of working in the health and social care sector, ideally with previous experience of conducting home visits to individuals, and you can offer your services for an agreed amount of time across the year, then we would love to hear from you.

It’s essential that you have the skills to manage your own workload, actively listen, and communicate with empathy. If you have experience of working within the music industry, that would be an advantage. 

Other requirements

• Our calls and visits are made to musicians between 9.30am-4pm Monday-Friday so you must be available to undertake work between those times (i.e. this is not evening / weekend work)

• The role will involve lone working, including in-person visits to the homes of musicians, so you must be comfortable to lone work and travel – reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed in line with our expenses policy. Suitable lone working training will be given.

• Due to the geographical location of most in-person visits, a full driving license and willingness to drive is essential (reasonable adjustments will be considered for applicants with a disability).

• A basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is an essential requirement

The Premier League Stadium Fund (PLSF) provides grants to improve stadium facilities for players, supporters, and officials. Supporting over 1,000 clubs, it aids teams in the National League System (Steps 1-6), Women’s Football Pyramid (Tiers 1-4), and newly promoted EFL clubs.

Through its Stadium Accreditation Programme, PLSF collects facility data for The FA, ensuring targeted investment. This digital process helps clubs track required works and report improvements. By funding upgrades, PLSF helps non-league and women’s clubs meet standards, avoid relegation, secure promotion, and enhance financial sustainability and matchday experiences.

BACKGROUND    

The latest research suggesting that the number of children and young people at risk of hunger has rocketed to 2.7 million* means that one in five children don't have enough to eat.  When a child is too hungry to learn, when they’re aching for something to eat, they can’t concentrate. They can’t absorb information. Big feelings and worries can be impossible to control. They fall behind in their studies. 

Magic Breakfast provide a nutritious and filling breakfast to over 200,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma.  Magic Breakfast are ambitious to grow our impact to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for all children and young people in the UK.

The new UK government’s Children’s Wellbeing Bill outlined in the King’s Speech, includes a requirement for free school breakfast clubs in every English primary school. This is a fantastic start towards ending child morning hunger. Magic Breakfast’s influence will be instrumental to ensuring school breakfasts are introduced in a way that is hunger-focused and barrier free. In 2021, the Scottish Government, pledged a not yet enacted promise to provide breakfast to primary children.

Thousands of secondary school children are at risk of losing their free school breakfasts from September next year. For many of these students, this is their only opportunity to have a nutritious meal before facing a demanding school day, including taking exams.

Solutions across all UK nations are currently either not yet actioned or are severely underserving the current need. Being part of the work of Magic Breakfast is your chance, together with parents, teachers and people across the UK, to demonstrate the power of school breakfasts and to shape the way forward to end morning hunger for good.

Job Overview
National Energy Action (NEA) is seeking a dynamic Head of People and Culture to develop a positive, inclusive work environment where colleagues feel supported, engaged, and empowered to perform at their best to help the millions of vulnerable people who are facing sky high energy bills.

Responsibilities

Reporting into the Deputy Chief Executive, and working with the leadership team, you will foster strong employee relations and well-aligned policies to indirectly enhance the quality of services provided to our beneficiaries. Embedding our values and behaviours, ensuring legal compliance, and promoting inclusion and diversity, you will facilitate a workplace that better reflects and serves the diverse communities NEA supports.

Why National Energy Action?

It is a key time for the charity as the energy crisis highlighted the importance of the work we do - on the ground and with government. And, over the coming years the drive towards a net zero carbon future could help to eradicate fuel poverty across the UK.

We are committed to improving our approach to diversity and inclusion and as a senior leader and member of the Directors team, you will be a champion of our work in this area. For this role we would strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups, in particular people of colour and disabled people.
