As we reported last month, the Government (through DCSF and DCMS) has appointed Youth Music, Abbot Mead Vickers, Faber Music and The Sage Gateshead to deliver Sing Up - the Music Manifesto National Singing Programme.

This programme aims to ensure that all primary-aged children experience and enjoy singing at the heart of their school lives and communities, and is supported by £10 million investment.

To deliver this exciting initiative, Youth Music (overall consortium leaders) and The Sage Gateshead (workforce development strand leaders) are now recruiting an extensive team across a wide range of disciplines at all levels from administration through to senior management.

The funding for the National Singing Programme runs until the end of March 2008 in the first instance. As a result we are seeking to recruit on six month fixed-term contracts initially and we welcome secondment proposals and freelance applications for all posts. There is the potential for renewal of up to three years, subject to confirmation of funding.
