Area Manager

Kent Music is seeking a dynamic area manager to develop our work in Canterbury, Dover and Thanet. Working with the Kent Music team, schools and partners you will be empowered to make a real difference to the music education of children, young people and adults across the area by providing opportunities to learn to play instruments, play in groups and sing.

About the Role

This is a strategic role designed to provide leadership across a designated geographical area of Kent. The role will encompass the development of a strategy for the area, the development of instrumental and vocal tuition, the management of term time out-of-school activities, and supporting the development of school relationships, bringing together partners to ensure the musical offer is as rich and diverse as possible.

The role is one of a team of four area managers, each supported by an area administrator and/or a lead area administrator. The post holder will work across all areas of Kent Music and thus will need to be able to work collaboratively as well as manage a complex workload. The ability to take the initiative, work independently, communicate across teams, and effectively line manage the area administrator(s) will be essential to the success of the role.

The post holder will line manage an area administrator and/or a lead area administrator who is responsible for registering students for tuition and music centre membership, and any non-teaching staff required for the running of the music centres in their districts.

This role includes supervising activities at our Thanet Music Centre on Wednesday evenings during term time.
