Background to the role The Choir with No Name (CWNN) run choirs involving people affected by homelessness across England and Wales. We were founded on the premise that singing with others makes you feel good; it distracts you from all the nonsense in life and helps you to build confidence, skills and genuine, long-lasting friendships.

Gigs and workshops a) Arrange and promote regular gigs for the Sheffield choir, in partnership with the Choir Director. b) Arrange regular outreach workshops (and occasionally larger-scale community projects) within the homeless, mental health and other relevant communities. 4. Administration a) Set and deliver an appropriate work plan for the Sheffield choir, ensuring that it follows the agreed priorities of CWNN and that the choir reaches people with experience of homelessness in Sheffield. b) Follow operational policies and procedures consistently and help to keep them relevant and up-to-date. c) Contribute to measuring the social impact of the choir through conducting member surveys/focus groups and compiling results. d) Complete quarterly reports and impact data. e) Be responsible for the Sheffield choir budget, ensuring spending is reasonable and in line with predicted costs. f) Shared information with the organisation to be included in national communications, communicate the achievements of your choir to your local community (via social media and other channels).
