About the Youth Music Awards

We believe that every young person should have the chance to change their life through music.

Yet our research shows that many can’t because of who they are, where they’re from or what they’re going through.

Our insights, influence and investment in grassroots organisations and to young people themselves means that more 0–25-year-olds can make, learn and earn in music.

Youth Music is a national charity funded thanks to the National Lottery via Arts Council England, players of People's Postcode Lottery and support from partners, fundraisers and donors.

Who we're looking for

We’re looking for a friendly, organised, enthusiastic and versatile individual who can remain calm under pressure, deal with multiple tasks and think on their feet.

In the run up to the event, you’ll work closely with our PR agency, gaining hands-on experience in bringing a communications campaign to life. As part of this, you’ll spend time shadowing the account team through the planning stages and be allocated specific tasks to lead on yourself.

At the awards, you’ll help the agency and our Communications team run the live press office. Your responsibilities could include:

  • Finding and taking the winners and other key guests for photography/filming
  • Hosting journalists and ensuring they have what they need
  • Capturing quotes from attendees as required
