The Role

We’re looking for a Choir Leader with musicality to bring people affected by cancer together. Have you got strong admin, customer service and organisational skills? Have you the experience, passion & enthusiasm to inspire people affected by cancer to sing for enjoyment together?

We’re looking for someone to lead our choir rehearsals & performances and be an organised admin maestro when it comes to bringing all of this together.

Our ‘Sing with Us’ choirs have been offering support, friendship and fun for people affected by Cancer and their families for over 15 years across Wales. With over 15 choirs spread throughout Wales, our Area Co-ordinators are front and centre to the running of these choirs and co-ordinating their activities.
