West Bromwich Choir Leader Post
WE’RE LOOKING FOR A NEW CHOIR LEADER FOR AN ESTABLISHED CHOIR IN WEST BROMWICH
This role is not for everyone.
Apply for This Role via hello@thepeoplesshowchoir.com
We are not simply looking for someone who can conduct a choir or teach vocal parts.
There are plenty of people who can do that.
There are plenty of people who can do that.
We are looking for someone who understands that a choir is, first and foremost, a community.
Someone who knows that:
-
People don’t come just to sing, they come to feel something
- Confidence grows when people feel safe, not when they feel judged
- The best sound comes after the room is full of energy, trust and connection
At The People’s Show Choir, we believe in one simple principle:
People first. Music second.
And we mean it.
West Bromwich choir rehearses at
All Saints Parish Church,
All Saints Way, West Bromwich, B71 1RU
Wednesday Evenings – 7.00pm to 8:30pm
Rehearsals are weekly during term time
We believe community music leadership should be properly valued. This role offers straightforward weekly pay for rehearsals, alongside the potential to build extra income through local performances.
Weekly rehearsal fee: £80 per 2-hour rehearsal
Concert profit opportunity: Choir leaders can run around 2 to 3 local ticketed concerts each year and keep the profits after costs.
For the right leader, this is a role that can be both creatively fulfilling and financially worthwhile.
What this role really involves
Yes, you will skilfully teach songs and lead rehearsals.
But more importantly, you will:
- Create an environment where people feel welcome from the moment they walk in
- Give people permission to let go, have fun, and be themselves
- Build confidence in people who may never have sung before
-
Turn a group of individuals into a choir that belongs to each other
You will be as comfortable leading a room with warmth and humour as you are conducting a piece of music.
Who this role is for
This role might be for you if:
- You naturally prioritise people over perfection
- You get genuine joy from seeing others grow in confidence
-
You can bring energy into a room even when it’s not there yet
- You are approachable, encouraging, and emotionally intelligent
- You understand that leadership is about creating space for others, not standing in front of them
Musical ability and conducting experience are important, but they are not enough on their own.
You lead the choir. We help carry the rest.
You will not be left to build a choir alone. As a Community Choir Leader with The People’s Show Choirs, you are backed by a wider team and established charity structure that supports growth, systems, training and the practical side of delivery, so you can focus on the music, the people and the atmosphere you create each week.
- Support with growth and recruitment
We support choir growth through marketing activity, promotional materials, sign-up systems and practical guidance that help more people discover your choir and feel confident joining. - Support with music and rehearsal delivery
You are supported with repertoire, learning materials, arranging help and guidance for planning engaging rehearsals, so you are not starting from scratch each week. - Support with accompanists and setup
We can help with accompanist recruitment and payment, as well as key practical and logistical elements that help rehearsals run smoothly.
- Support with member systems and communication
From onboarding new singers to reminders, attendance processes and ongoing communications, we provide systems that make the member journey feel smoother and more joined up. - Support with compliance and organisation
You benefit from a wider framework covering areas such as health and safety, safeguarding, DBS-related support, insurance, GDPR and music licensing, giving you stronger backing than trying to run everything independently. - Support with training and development
You also get practical training, live podium experience, mentoring and access to a network of fellow leaders, so you can keep growing in confidence as your choir grows too.
What you’ll be stepping into
This is a good-sized choir with huge potential.
With the right leadership, it can become a vibrant, confident and connected community.
You will be supported by a wider organisation, training, and a proven approach to building belonging within choirs.
Alongside a strong base rate, there is uncapped bonus potential tied to the growth of your choir, giving you the opportunity to build something special and be rewarded for it.
Final thought
We can teach someone how to run a rehearsal.
We cannot teach someone to care about people.
If you read this and felt a strong sense of “this is exactly how I believe a choir should feel”, we would love to hear from you.
