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
