Base71 Youth Zone is dedicated to young people and makes a bold statement about the importance of giving young people high quality places to go in their leisure time. Open 7 days a week including school holidays, the Youth Zone’s purpose is to help young people grow to be happy, healthy and successful adults. The state of the art £10 million building provides young people with facilities that are second to none delivering over twenty sporting, artistic, cultural and general recreational activities each session. Offering young people the opportunity to try new things, meet new friends and gain support from friendly, warm and positive staff and volunteers.

We’re looking for passionate youth workers to deliver fun, hands-on music sessions where young people can learn essential skills – from playing instruments and developing their voices to exploring music production and recording. You’ll teach fundamentals in a range of music activities while inspiring creativity, building confidence, and encouraging young people aged 8–19 (or up to 25 with SEND) to express themselves in a creative and inclusive environment.

You’ll need experience working with young people, ideally through delivering music or arts sessions. Just as important, you’ll bring creativity, confidence, and the ability to plan fun, engaging activities, along with the patience and energy to support young people as they grow. Skills in instrument tuition (drums, guitar, piano), vocal coaching, or music production are highly desirable. Knowledge of safeguarding, health & safety, and inclusion is also essential, with training provided.

We particularly welcome applicants with experience in using recording equipment and music production technology.
