Job overview
The successful candidate will work with colleagues at Lister and with the CEO of Newham Community Learning Trust (NCL) towards securing new funding for the development of Music provision at NCL and primary cluster schools. This is likely to include continuing work to establish a charitable foundation, provisionally titled Newham Community Arts Foundation, to support the development of enrichment opportunities within our local community.
The role also includes supporting the Head of Music at Lister in the day-to-day running of the Music Cluster, and managing data collection and evaluative report writing for funding partners including Newham Council.
This new post has been created due to restructuring in the Music Department at Lister.
There is a reasonable prospect of this post being extended if the school is successful in gaining additional funding in this area.
