WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

As a result of the growth of the company in the last two years and our recent organisational development activity – which includes securing our first National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to run Sounds in the City, a music heritage project – we have identified the need for a Learning and Engagement Manager to join the Sound City team.

We’re looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic individual who is passionate about music and heritage, who is looking to work as part of a small, committed team who share that passion.
