Vacancies

We are seeking an organised, enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our high-performing music department as a part-time music department administrator. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who will enjoy working in a busy, creative and vibrant school environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day running of the department, with a particular focus on administration and organisation, alongside some practical and technical support for concerts, rehearsals and other music events.

Key responsibilities will include:-

• Providing administrative and organisational support to the music department
• Assisting with the planning and organisation of concerts, performances, rehearsals, trips and other music events
• Coordinating schedules, communications, bookings and departmental records
• Supporting students, staff, peripatetic teachers and visiting musicians with day-to-day enquiries and arrangements
• Assisting with the practical setup and pack-down of concerts, rehearsals and events, including moving and arranging music stands, chairs, instruments and other equipment as required
• Providing basic practical and technical support for performances and events, working alongside music department staff and students
• Helping to ensure that teaching rooms, rehearsal spaces, practice rooms and departmental storage areas are well organised, tidy and ready for use
• Assisting with the organisation, preparation and basic maintenance of departmental resources, instruments, computers and equipment
• Helping to support student leadership opportunities, including the development and coordination of a student technical team
• Supporting the wider day-to-day life of a busy music department as required

The successful candidate will be highly organised, practical and proactive, confident using administrative systems and able to manage competing priorities. They will enjoy working collaboratively as part of a friendly team and be willing to turn their hand to both administrative and practical tasks when needed. An interest in music, concerts or the performing arts would be advantageous, although specialist musical or technical knowledge is not essential. More important is a willingness to learn, take initiative and help ensure that the department and its activities run smoothly. The role includes attendance at some evening and weekend concerts and events, for which additional hours are allocated. This will involve providing practical support before, during and after events, including helping with setup and ensuring equipment and spaces are returned to good order afterwards. Flexibility, enthusiasm and a willingness to support the wider life of the department are therefore important qualities for this position.

The successful candidate will be required to work 22 hours per week, term time only (currently 38 weeks per year), plus an additional 66 hours per year to support evening and weekend concerts and performances. The starting salary is Kent Scheme C, £14,034 per annum pro rata (FTE £26,956 p.a.)
