Working closely with the Director of Music, visiting teachers, pupils, parents and staff, you will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of a busy and vibrant department.

Hours: Term Time Only - 1.5 days per week plus 3 days in College Holidays (some flexibility can be offered with regards to days and hours). Flexibility to attend concerts, open days and trips would be beneficial.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Director of Music with the daily administration of the Music and LAMDA Department.
• Act as the first point of contact for pupils, parents and staff regarding music and performing arts activities.
• Coordinate and timetable instrumental, singing and LAMDA lessons using the SOCS system.
• Manage communications relating to lesson schedules, attendance, examinations and changes.
• Organise Music (ABRSM, Trinity and LCM) and LAMDA examinations, including entries, accompaniment and stewarding.
• Assist with concerts, recitals, trips and tours, including programmes, transport and catering.
• Provide administrative support including ordering music, arranging instrument repairs and piano tuning, and supporting ensemble organisation.

• Work collaboratively with the Prep School and wider College community to support events and timetabling.

The Ideal Candidate

• Has excellent organisational and communication skills.
• Can manage multiple tasks efficiently and calmly.
• Is confident using administrative and timetabling systems.
• Enjoys working in a busy educational and creative environment.
• Has an interest in music, drama or the performing arts.
• Works well independently and as part of a team.

While not in a teaching role, as a Music and LAMDA Administrator you will regularly work in a school environment, engaging with children. This means you will be in regulated activity and an enhanced DBS check (including children's barred list) will be required before appointment.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone's responsibility. As with all College staff members, you will therefore be responsible for providing a safe environment in which children can learn.

St Edmund's College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Candidates will be required to undergo relevant Safeguarding Checks.

This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020.
