Working with young people aged between 11 -19 years, in a youth music project setting, you will encourage young people’s participation in the project and in planning and running music activities with them. You will build relationships with these young people by being a good listener, listening to what the young people want from the activities as well as listening to their issues and sign posting them on to other services as and when required. You will be expected to support the work under the direction of the Rant Studio Manager.

Your duties will involve providing informal basic music activity alongside the youth centre sessions that could range from introducing young people to the live room where they can try out drums bass and guitar or assisting some of our young bands with performance and song writing advice. As we have the facilities to create basic demo recordings an understanding of the recording process would be helpful as also experience of Logic Pro / Garage Band would be an advantage. A broad interest in a wide range of music genres is also welcome.
