The NYBBGB Seeks New Trustees and Volunteer Librarian
The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain is inviting applications for a number of exciting voluntary opportunities to support the future development of one of the UK’s leading youth music organisations.
The Band is currently seeking to appoint three new Trustees, alongside a Volunteer Librarian, as part of its continued commitment to strengthening governance, preserving its musical heritage and supporting talented young brass and percussion musicians from across the UK.
Trustee Opportunities
The NYBBGB is looking to appoint Trustees with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Archive & Heritage Management
- Safeguarding / Health & Safety
- Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I)
The Trustees will play a key role in supporting the strategic direction and long-term sustainability of the organisation, helping ensure that young musicians continue to benefit from world-class musical opportunities, outstanding pastoral support and financial assistance through the Band’s bursary programme.
Previous trustee experience is not essential. The Band welcomes applications from individuals who can bring relevant professional expertise, fresh perspectives and a passion for supporting young people through music.
Volunteer Librarian Opportunity
The NYBBGB is also seeking a Volunteer Librarian to help manage and maintain the organisation’s extensive music library and archive.
Working closely with the artistic and operations teams, the Librarian will support the preparation of music for courses, rehearsals and concerts, while also helping preserve an important part of British brass band heritage. The NYBBGB archive dates back to 1952, when the Band was formed, and reflects more than seven decades of musical excellence and achievement.
This role would particularly suit someone with strong organisational skills, attention to detail and an enthusiasm for brass band music and music education. Previous experience as a music librarian is welcomed but not essential.
Join The NYBBGB Family
