From Mander Organs discussion board:-
Now it its third year, the Southbank Centre is offering an Organ Scholarship. The scholarship is designed as a professional development and leadership training scheme.
From September to July 2016 this unique training placement will support our International Organ Series concert programme, development work and organ participatory activity.
We are looking for a confident scholar to be an ambassador for the organ and to work closely with the Learning and Participation team to help engage new audiences including schools and the general public with this extraordinary instrument. This is a unique and extremely exciting opportunity for a music student or graduate, with specialist organ training, to gain experience from our Organ Curator William McVicker, to support and collaboration with our music programming team and to be a part of a lively cross-arts organisation.
The Organ Scholar role will will run on a bursary system, with an expectation that you will work 20 hours per month. You will be involved in a number of our annual festivals and you may be asked to participate in a number of performance opportunities and learning projects. Any additional project activity, over these 20 hours, will be paid at a fixed rate.
This is a supported traineeship role and opportunities to take part in additional training, role shadowing and work placements can be negotiated on a case by case basis.
Closing Date: 17th August 2015

What an opportunity!
Thanks for posting this

William McVicker was the consultant for Harrisons' recent restoration of the organ at the Moot Hall, Colchester. I gave the opening concerts, so I had a chance to see what events he had arranged. It was all most impressive and interesting. Any young organist who gets a chance to work with him would find it a most stimulating learning experience.
