EFDSS is offering a freelance traineeship, from September 2025 to August 2026, for a
musician wishing to develop their skills in folk music education and working with disabled
young people. The trainee will work with leader Emmie Ward and tutor Nick Goode, as part
of the Inclusive Folk tutor team. As we will be working with several education settings in
North and West London, we expect the trainee to be based in, or in close proximity to, the
Greater London Area.
This traineeship is part of EFDSS’ on-going commitment to developing good practice and
skills in folk arts education. The trainee folk music educator will support the delivery whilst
being provided with an opportunity to strengthen their teaching / leading skills. They will
receive on-going support throughout the project from the EFDSS Education team.
The trainee music leader is also currently involved in Folk Beyond which is for Learning
Disabled people over the age of 30 and takes place off-site on Sunday mornings and is
funded separately.
