At the Southbank Centre we endeavour to keep job adverts open for at least two weeks to give ample time for prospective applicants to apply. However, should we receive a high volume of applications for a role, we reserve the right to close the vacancy early. We do not take this decision lightly, but should we need to close a vacancy early, we do so to support our hiring teams.

Please note, applications sent via Email or 3rd party agencies will not be considered.
