As part of a dynamic team in the music department, this is a rare opportunity to further a career in the arts. Previous post-holders have gone on to work with prestigious organisations in the arts, broadcasting and education sectors. If you are passionate about music and administration, have an excellent eye for detail, can demonstrate outstanding organisational and communication skills, and like working with young people, this could be the role for you. We offer a unique opportunity to work in an environment that is both a school and a professional concert promoter: we are a truly outstanding music school, and we have an ambitious and inspiring artistic programme. We give many performances every week in school and several times a year we appear at prestigious venues in London, around the UK and overseas. Some of the world's best musicians visit regularly to teach, perform or give masterclasses. You will enjoy a busy role with many varied responsibilities, interacting with colleagues, students and parents, eminent guest artists, and major arts venues. Your list of responsibilities will encompass everything that is required to stage any concert or event successfully and safely with young musicians. You will be confident about creating schedules and coordinating them. The ideal candidate will also have some experience of managing budgets, but this is not essential as training can be provided. You must be willing to work flexibly as the role involves attending concerts outside of normal working hours. This is a full-time or part-time (0.8) post. Some home working within school holidays is possible. Competitive salary according to the successful candidate's experience, with a contributory pension scheme.
