Leicester International Music Festival has a proud history of bringing exceptional musicians to the city, through our lunchtime concert series and annual festival at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery on New Walk and most recently, Hansom Hall in the city centre.

We are a small, independent charity run entirely by a friendly team of volunteers. We present around 16 concerts each year and a programme of outreach performances in schools and community settings. We operate with a modest turnover, so our Board take a hands-on approach to ensure best use of our resources.

We are looking for reliable, community-minded people to join our board. Whether you're a recent graduate, retired or would like to use your professional skills locally in a meaningful way, we would love to hear from you.

In particular, we are looking to fill the following vacancies:

1. Trustee Treasurer

Our finances are straightforward, but they need careful and steady management. This role would suit a retired accountant, bookkeeper or someone with experience of managing business finances and budgets.

As we do not have paid administrative staff, you would manage the charity's finances. This includes basic bookkeeping, paying invoices, monitoring cash flow and preparing a simple financial update for committee meetings. You would also help prepare our year-end accounts for independent examination.

2. Fundraising Lead

To keep ticket prices accessible we rely on grants and donations. We need someone who can work closely with our Artistic Director to craft compelling funding bids and is happy to build local relationships to help us realise our festival's ambitions.
