This is a unique platform to inspire change and open doors so that every young person can access the transformative power and benefits of high-quality music education.

We especially encourage individuals with backgrounds and life experiences that reflect the young people we support to apply, particularly those who are underrepresented in our team and the wider orchestral sector.

Ambassadors (Alumni)

We are looking for our next cohort of Orchestras for All Ambassadors. An ambassador is someone who supports and champions the work of OFA across all programmes. Over the two -year season, an ambassador will represent the charity and shout about our work wherever they can.

As an ambassador you will work primarily on our NOFA residentials and Modulo days with our team. You will also get the chance to individually develop your skills in areas that interest you through our range of different pathways.

Plus, you will support young people who attend our in -person activity and act as a role model to them alongside collaborating with the OFA team to deliver our events.

The ambassador role is a progression from being a NOFA member, and a professional development opportunity. Ambassadors must have taken part in the 2025-26 National Orchestra for All season and be aged 18+ to apply.

Location: Hybrid (UK-wide) Contract: Two years.
