Are you interested in a career in arts or education administration, supporting the smooth running of an organisation? Join our small, friendly operations team in a key Front of House role, providing administrative support for our acting, dance, and musical theatre courses.
This is a varied and rewarding role, offering insight into all aspects of programme delivery at a dynamic performing arts institution.

What will set you apart is a proactive attitude, excellent organisational skills, and a systematic approach to tasks. You’ll be personable, collaborative, and confident communicating with staff, students, and visitors.

This typically includes 2 later evenings with a start time of 12noon and a finish time of 8.30pm. There is the potential to offer some flexibility which may suit those balancing work and childcare or caring commitments or simply seeking an alternative working pattern.
