Is it possible to sing and help people at the same time? Yes - with an Upbeat Arts choir program it is! If you love to sing and can hold a tune - this is a unique opportunity to give back to your community. You'll be doing something you love, whilst helping others to learn and socialise. Vocal experience or singing in a choir is a definite advantage. You’d become part of the choir and be on hand to offer support, by working with the members in a group setting. You might help members to find their note or simply chat with them during the breaks. This is a support role, as the conductor is fully responsible for the content and direction of each rehearsal. Our programs are primarily for adults with a mental health diagnosis, so if you happen to have experience working in the Mental Health sector - that would be a distinct advantage to us and you might be eligible to apply to be a ‘Health Buddy’ (advertised separately). The objectives of this buddy role: * To support and assist members * To help members musically * To support and assist staff with routine work performed on a weekly basis and participate in special projects, depending on skills, interest and availability If this all sounds like you…....Then we'd love to hear from you! And in return - by volunteering with Upbeat Arts you'll receive .... * A sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in assisting your community in a fun musical environment, working with a wonderful team * Plenty of thanks from our members and from Upbeat Arts! We're currently looking for buddies for our brand new choir - starting soon in Bundaberg. A weekly commitment to become a permanent member of the choir is required. Please check listing for details. NOTE: All applicants will be required to complete an online application form which will be forwarded to them when their expression of interest is lodged with us.
We're seeking someone with vocal or choir experience - either professional or amateur. Tell us about your experience when you apply.
* May be arranged by the organisation. Details will be provided after you express your interest.
