Volunteer Musician

For SeeAbility

Register your interest

As a Volunteer Musician, you will bring joy, comfort, and connection to the people we support, by sharing live music. Your performances will provide meaningful engagement, foster a sense of community, and enhance emotional and mental well-being.

We are looking for volunteers to: 

  • Play musical instruments or sing for small groups or individuals.
  • Tailor performances to the preferences and needs of the people we support (e.g., familiar songs or soothing melodies).
  • Encourage the people we support to sing along or participate in simple ways (e.g., clapping, tapping rhythms).
  • Create a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere during your sessions.
  • Adjust your style or volume to suit the home setting and individuals’ sensitivities.
  • Be attentive to the emotional and physical responses of individuals during performances.
  • Work with care home staff to schedule performances and understand the unique needs of the residents.
  • Communicate any concerns or noteworthy interactions with staff.

What skills do I need?

  • Proficiency in at least one musical instrument or singing.
  • Warm, friendly, and compassionate demeanour.
  • Patience and adaptability to engage with people of varying abilities and preferences.
  • A genuine interest in contributing to the well-being of the people we support.

To ensure the safety of the people we support, we require a DBS check and two satisfactory references before a volunteer role is confirmed. As you will be volunteering directly with vulnerable individuals, you will also be required to undertake safeguarding training, as well as any training which is specific to the role.
