Love Music Junior Choir seeks Volunteer Chaperones

Love Music are seeking volunteer chaperones to join our team looking after the children who participate in our Junior Choir’s weekly rehearsals at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.

Love Music Junior Choir is for children aged 8-12 from all areas of Edinburgh with up 150 members. The choir is about giving everyone the chance to take part in a high quality musical experience while having fun and celebrating individuality.

Chaperones look after the children’s safety around the building and assist our artistic team to support children who benefit from a little extra help during rehearsals. The role is a non-musical one as rehearsals are led by our choir leaders. There is no need for applicants to have experience of singing or music-making, but they should be able to demonstrate enthusiasm and encouragement to the children, regardless of their own or the child’s singing abilities.

Your availability & term dates
Chaperones are needed from 3.40pm to 5.50pm on Monday afternoons during choir terms. On concert days, some chaperones are required for the evening too. There is no obligation for any chaperone to be available for every rehearsal, but it is preferable for chaperones to be available for at least 5 of the dates so that they can get to know the children in their group. 

How to apply
Please complete the application form on the Love Music website at any time. Our next intake of chaperones will begin volunteering in our summer term which starts in April. Applications should be received by 10am on Wednesday 6th March and our interviews will be held in central Edinburgh on Tuesday 19th March. Our training session will take place on Monday 15th April.

Successful candidates will be subject to a Protection of Vulnerable Groups Disclosure Scotland check. Please note applicants must be over 18 years old.
