Are you looking for an opportunity to create positive social change, meet new people and learn new things? MTW is looking for committed, motivated people to join the Board as Trustees, enabling even more people to benefit from music therapy.
Each Trustee must:
• Be able to make careful, strategic decisions based on the information they are given
• Have a willingness to speak their mind and provide constructive challenge when needed
• Work well in a varied team of people
• Be willing to spend the time and effort needed to fulfil the role of Trustee
• Understand and accept the legal responsibilities of being a Trustee
We also want our Board to reflect the diverse community that MTW supports. We would particularly like to hear from you if you:
• have a background in social care and/or safeguarding
• have a background in music therapy or a related field
• reflect MTW’s beneficiaries. For example: are you a disabled person? Do you have mental health needs? Are you a parent or teacher of a young disabled person, or a young person with mental health needs? Are you part of an adoptive family or do you work with children in care? Are you a carer for a person with dementia?
Whether you’re an experienced Trustee or wanting to take up your first position at board level, we really want to hear from you! It is not necessary for you to have previous experience as a Trustee - training will be provided. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
Total time spent is equivalent to around 30 hours per year.
Pre-agreed expenses can be reimbursed.
Music Therapy Works (MTW) is an independent charity based in the West Midlands. Our mission is to deliver comprehensive music therapy services for individuals, groups and communities in a wide range of circumstances.

We recognise that volunteering with us is a two-way process and are keen to ensure you get the most out of your time with us:
• Being a Trustee is a great way to ‘give something back’ while developing your skills in leadership, influencing, debating, negotiating, strategic and organisational planning. You will have the opportunity to meet, network and learn from people who may have very different professional backgrounds and life experiences to your own.
• We provide an induction pack for new Trustees to help you quickly feel settled in
• We provide opportunities for training and development • Every new trustee is assigned a Board buddy to help them to feel part of the team
