Trustees

Berkshire Music Trust is the lead organisation of the Berkshire Music Hub, and is a charitable organisation offering music learning opportunities to children, schools and adults across the whole of Berkshire.

We are currently looking for two new Trustees to join our Board and provide independent professional insight across two priority areas:
1. Safeguarding Oversight: We are looking for an individual with professional expertise in safeguarding, child protection, or regulatory compliance, to provide rigorous oversight of our safeguarding framework and safer recruitment practices.
2. Leadership & Governance: We are looking for a senior leader with a proven track record in strategic change, corporate governance, or legal contexts. You would be an active member of the Board, providing objective insight to help shape our long-term strategic direction.

Previous experience of music education or working with a charity would be beneficial but is not essential. We are committed to expanding the diversity of Board members, particularly as regards gender, age, disability, and ethnicity. Training can be provided.

Are you:
- Passionate about the potential of music to change lives?
- Driven to make a positive difference?
- Willing to lead discussions and challenge ideas?
- Able to commit to 6 board meetings per year on a weekday evening in Reading?

Although the position is unremunerated, reasonable expenses can be paid. All appointments are subject to a formal vetting process, including an Enhanced DBS check. Applicants must be eligible to act as a charity trustee; candidates with barred status need not apply.
