About The Misfits Music Foundation
Misfits Music Foundation, known as Misfits Music Institute day-to-day was founded by Rob Jones and Reuben Penny in 2018 to bring the power of group music making to people in Birmingham and The Black Country. We provide open and non-judgmental spaces for people to get together and improve their wellbeing through music. Our organisation now employs a group of freelancer music leaders, has 4 staff members and we have a dedicated board of 6 Trustees.
The Role
We are looking for a driven and proactive Creative Marketing & Communications Officer to work to increase our number of beneficiaries across our core community music groups. You will work closely with the Programme Manager, Artistic Director and Music Director to produce engaging content across social media, website, print and email.

This role suits someone who enjoys storytelling, is visually creative, and can confidently manage multiple projects at once.
During this role you will lead the development and delivery of a dynamic Marketing Strategy aimed at growing our community and revenue. This includes increasing membership across core groups, driving ticket sales, and scaling both product sales and charitable donations through an increased public and digital presence.
