London, UK, United Kingdom ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC Full time

The Royal Academy of Music is one of the world’s leading conservatoires. It prides itself on being stimulating, forward looking and a friendly environment with a diverse mix of students and staff from over 50 countries. Based in central London adjacent to Regent’s Park, we have trained musicians to the highest professional standards since 1822 and we are firmly focused on developing tomorrow’s musical leaders in disciplines including classical, jazz, composition and musical theatre.

The Academy has one of the fullest and varied performance programmes of any conservatoire with events ranging from individual performance to full symphony orchestra, jazz, opera and musical theatre. The Concerts Department is at the heart of all programming and performance activity and the hire services for our spaces and student musicians.

The Academy seeks to appoint an External Bookings Assistant to support the External Bookings Manager with the administration of the Academy’s External Bookings service and External Concert Series. The service runs all year round and as part of the Academy’s commitment to preparing our students for professional careers, manages requests and subsequent engagements from external sources who wish to book Academy students to perform at events.

This role engages with members of the public and student performers in the early stages of their careers, to ensure the success of around 500 external bookings per year.

The successful candidate will have excellent organisational and administrative skills alongside well developed IT knowledge and the ability to balance a demanding workload. This role requires outstanding interpersonal and communication skills including an excellent telephone manner, with the confidence to prioritise effectively. You must also have a strong knowledge of classical music and jazz, a keen eye for detail, time management skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Previous experience of working in a music education or performing arts context is essential. Prior administrative experience gained within a professional arts organisation or customer facing role is desirable.

To apply, please visit our website via the button below.

Completed applications must be received by midnight Monday 6 January 2025.

Interviews are expected to take place on-site on Thursday 16 January 2025.

The Academy accepts applications from non-UK citizens who have the right to work in the UK. Please note that the Academy is unable to provide a certificate of sponsorship for this role, as this role does not meet the eligibility requirements for a skilled worker visa.

The Academy is committed to promoting the welfare and safeguarding of all students.

The Academy values diversity and welcomes your application.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, and candidates with disabilities because we would like to increase the representation of these groups in these roles. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to greater results for students.
