As CWNN Cardiff Choir Manager, you will take the lead on the administrative and pastoral side of the choir. Working closely with our Cardiff Music Director, you will coordinate and support a small team of volunteers, helping the choir to thrive. You’ll be responsible for recruiting new choir members and supporting them to feel welcome, build confidence, and, where appropriate, signposting them to additional services.

Line management will be provided by the Head of Programmes at Choir with No Name, with additional support from the Head of Service Innovation & Enhancement at our Cardiff partner organisation, The Wallich.
