We are seeking a trustee with a strong finance and accounting background and a passion for the role music plays in young people's lives to join us as we grow our impact across the region.
Help shape the future of music education in Kent and Medway!
Who we're looking for:
We are looking for a qualified Chartered Accountant, or someone with similar experience in financial accounting, audit, charity finance or financial governance to join our Board of Trustees at an exciting time for Kent Music. You will help to ensure that Kent Music is financially sustainable so young people can benefit from a high-quality music education for years to come.

Act collectively with fellow trustees, sharing responsibility for Board decisions
Why become a trustee?
Being a trustee is both a rewarding and strategic voluntary role. You will play a vital role in shaping Kent Music's vision.
Alongside making a meaningful contribution, you will gain experience in charity governance, develop your leadership and strategic skills, and broaden your professional network.
