The Jazz Centre UK is looking for a volunteer to help coordinate our museum back-office activities. Supporting our very experienced Museum Trustee Mark Barrett, you will help organise projects, coordinate volunteers, track tasks and support the smooth running of behind-the-scenes museum operations. This is a new initiative for us and you will be the first in this role, so an exciting time and your help in this leadership role will make a large impact to everything we do.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop leadership and organisational skills while contributing directly to the preservation and presentation of an important collection of jazz heritage. We are looking for a self starter that can organise and inspire our volunteer team to complete our projects.
