WORK WITH US

Sing Inside is run by a small but growing executive team, and working with freelance music leaders, accompanists and singers across the country to deliver our work.

Find out more about how to apply for vacant roles here and contact us on info@singinside.org with any questions.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

After 2 years leading Sing Inside one day a week, Sam Hawksley will be stepping down at the end of November 2025. Sing Inside is in an exciting position where we have raised the resources to recruit a new Chief Executive at 3 days per week (0.6 full-time equivalent).

Sam says:

'It has been a pleasure to lead Sing Inside over the last 2 years alongside Lucy Baker, our fantastic Programme Manager and a wonderful, dedicated team of Trustees and volunteers. Together we have grown the work and income of the charity, bringing the joy of making music and singing together to people in prison who really need our support.

It has been a privilege to witness the positive impact that our workshop leaders and teams of volunteers achieve through our choirs and workshops. Singing together really does do something magical, building positive relationships, developing confidence and supporting people to undertake meaningful activity that boosts their wellbeing and have fun.

I am excited to watch from afar as Sing Inside continues its growth bringing the love of singing together into many more prisons across the country.'

FREELANCE MUSICIAN ROLES

We're currently seeking freelance musicians - both workshop leaders and accompanists - to lead Sing Inside workshops across the country.

We ask our freelance musicians to undergo our musical leadership training and commit to our pedagogy model, as well as sometimes observe a session in prison to understand the environment if it is unfamiliar to you. We're especially keen to recruit musicians in Liverpool, Lancaster, Oxfordshire and York, or to hear from leaders willing to travel to work in these areas. Sing Inside pays our musical leaders between £150 - £300 per session, depending on the length of workshop, and will cover all travel expenses and overnight stays where necessary.

Expression of interest form

If you're a workshop or choir leader or a community pianist looking to try working in a new and different environment, we would love to hear form you. Please fill out an expression of interest form and email it to us on info@singinside.org, and we will get in touch to discuss upcoming opportunities.

FINANCE TRUSTEE

Ensure controls and procedures in place are effective and proportionate;
