Job content

String of Hearts is looking for three non-executive directors to support our organisation as it grows its impact and reaches more isolated older adults through music.

What will you be doing?

String of Hearts is a community arts organisation based in Trafford, Greater Manchester, with a mission to connect older adults through music, to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing in later life.

Now in our third year in operation, we are looking to recruit three non-executive directors to our board, to support our organisation as it continues to grow its impact and scale. Read more about String of Hearts or

What are we looking for?

We are particularly looking for individuals with expertise in one or more of the following areas
  • Health and social care
  • PR and marketing
  • Human resources
  • Equality, diversity and inclusion
  • Charity/ voluntary sector governance
  • Business development/ change management
We are also interested in hearing from people who have experienced challenges such as a health condition or disability, or caring for someone, as research shows that these challenges can create additional barriers for people to access arts and cultural activities. We try to address this by providing free activities, transport, information in different formats and a range of music sessions, but we are always learning and would value your perspective.

Being based in Greater Manchester is desirable but not essential.

About The Role

Joining our board of directors is a non-executive, voluntary role. Remuneration is provided for reasonable expenses necessary to undertake the role, such as travel to meetings. Board members serve a maximum of two consecutive terms of three years each.

As a minimum, we ask that you
  • Attend quarterly board meetings, either online or in-person in Trafford/ south Manchester
  • Commit to furthering String of Hearts’ strategic aims and objectives
  • Commit to the legal responsibilities of being a non-executive director, acting in the best interests of the company and ensuring it meets its statutory obligations
  • Embrace the advice and perspectives of String of Hearts’ advisory group to inform decision-making at board level
  • Promote and advocate for String of Hearts’ work
What difference will you make?

We are looking for individuals who can bring new perspectives and skills to String of Hearts, alongside a commitment and enthusiasm for the arts, health & wellbeing and creative ageing.

Before you apply

To express an interest in joining our board of directors, please apply via Reach in the first instance and respond to these questions
  • What interests you about joining String of Hearts’ board of directors?
  • What skills and experience would you bring to the role?
  • What would you hope to get out of your time on the board?
  • Please tell us briefly about a piece of music that means something to you (optional)
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an informal interview with String of Hearts, which may be in-person or on Zoom, followed by the potential to visit a String of Hearts workshop to meet with some of our members.
